Christmas Countdown - 2016

[MerryCarey]

Undoubtedly! I still go into his office with my coffee for our morning politics rant, and I joked about The Great Spelling Bee Fiasco yesterday. That got big laughs. But he's always been a very private guy when it comes to personal issues, and this is the biggest personal issue in the world.

He doesn't seem to mind talking about his illness, but he doesn't bring it up, either. I'm always too dense to know when it should be discussed, and when it's best to go with distractions. I'm just doing my best to let him know that I'm here for him in whatever capacity he needs, and that he's not only still the boss, but my friend.

You're a great friend, and you're doing just right. Let him know that you're okay with him talking about it, but after that, let him bring up the subject if he wishes.

We had a friend years ago (living in a different state) who got a terminal diagnosis. He stopped communicating with almost everybody outside of his family because he felt awkward. Eventually he opened up to Mr., who had been a friend of his for a long time, and Mr told him about my experience. I advised our friend to NOT to keep his friends in the dark any longer---everyone we knew who knew him was worried and wanted to know what had happened to him. He finally re-established connections with people, thank goodness. We lent him loads of videos to fill his time, and he sent us loads in return. We miss him, and we treasure sharing those last few months with him, even from a distance.

Or worse. We wouldn't have met you!! Can't imagine MMC without you.

I humbly thank you. That brought a lump to my throat.

Hope you are feeling better today!!!

I am some!

 

[Edge612]

Thanks! You are due for a GNO then!
Oh, I do love Mexican food! It will depend how many show up tonight! If it's a big group we'll probably just get pizza! I'm very ok with that too...

Pizza always makes me happy.

 

[Holiday]

It isn't too pleasant

But I'll still try and help you!

Hope the sunshine sticks around, and it warms up nice for you guys!

Well the sun went into hiding again. Can you do anything about that? Ha ha! I hope your weather has improved as the day is going on!

 

[Holiday]

♥♥♥ Love him!

Awwww I want a cat so much. We are considering getting one when we move.

I hope you are able to get one! xx

Amen!

I feel so excited about your cake workshop! Such a fantastic idea and I am so pleased for you. One of the reason we are moving is so that my husband and I can each have workspace so I fully appreciate how grateful and life changing this must be for you! Praying that all your plans come into fruition! Keep us posted. Best of luck.

thank you ! Yes I am excited about it. I have to pick up a few things yet for organization, mostly small bins to hold my many cookie cutter and flower cutters etc. I warned my son that he would not see so much of me once I get working down there.

Good morning Christmasstar, Happy Thursday!
Penny is so sweet, I love when my cats are cuddly like that!
How exciting about the cake workshop! I hope everything goes smoothly, good luck!!!
Have a wonderful day!

I got home from work early because it was so slow today. Tomorrow will be crazy because the new sale starts and we are having dollar days.
