Sending you the biggest of hugs @WannabeFree. 🤗

So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mum and your dad's health problems @Wanna_Bee_Free you hadn't even had time to turn around between diagnosis and her death. Your dad must be very distressed, too, on top of being unwell. Hugs and prayers for you (hope you don't mind prayers). As others have said, take care of yourself. 

12/26 for me today please.

I was (mildly) unwell during Mass this morning, and had to leave my car there and be driven home. Hubby wasn't pleased about having to walk to church to retrieve the car (and the Sunday papers). I was very cross with him for prioritising the car. To be fair (hmph, don't wanna be!) I had left the car windows partly open.

I am very sorry to hear of your mother's sudden death W_B_F and your father's health problems. I too lost my mother to cancer (although not as suddenly) and needed to support my father so I know something of what you are going through. Please please be gentle to yourself and take some time for yourself to process your shock and grief. X

14/25 please cathybird. X

Good morning,
I am really warmed by your good thoughts, that's kind of you. I used to worry about what to say and now for me at least it's knowing there are thoughts and prayers that is helpful. Thank you. 
I am not sure how/when/where to get this time to process things. Also dealt with a bathroom in the hotel flooding from the floor above and a washing machine flood in the first airbnb I booked. OH is being a rock. Actually a rock making very bad corny jokes if that were a thing. Moved hotel room or accommodation 5 times since 5th August! Three more nights here at least. 
Alcohol: well it won't surprise anyone to know I've overdone it some nights. 

Rob, your post made me smile wryly/knowingly. Hope you find the right words, especially if she's gorgeous. Honesty, but not too much!
ETA and my signature is out of date again on here.
