There are more people here today. I'm feeling guilty bc last night was harder than I let on when I was asked but I was honest enough to say that today being here is the best I can do. There are 6 women in this group. Not sure why that feels like so much. I'm nervous to be a wreck again today and I just want to fast forward to the weekend so I can rest. But I'm also terrified for the weekend bc I don't think I'll do well with the lack of structure. I have things to work on and things to clean and I can blare music but....being alone is hard. This next song is very meaningful to me.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
I've mentioned her here since then. We were friends since 1983, and instead of a best man, she was the best "man" at my wedding. I hired her once to work for me when I was in management. Later when she got another job I moved across country in 2010 and changed jobs to live and work near her.
When she died on March 13th I was following through on a pact we'd had for decades to retire near each other in Mexico. On March 13 I was in Mexico signing a lease on a little rental home to go to this summer and to live in when I retire next year. But then I came back from Mexico to find out Deb had died.
Being alone, as you say, is hard. The singer's voice crying out in that song speaks so well as to how that feels. Thanks for sharing it, it really spoke for my heart today. Sending you my support for today and the weekend to come, Marah.
I had never heard that song before, but I like it. I have found music to be an extremely useful tool. Here's one about not being alone: https://youtu.be/mc_aMNdL35A
Hugs and peace.
These are some really odd times..... Deep breaths.... I'm glad that you're here....xo
