Monday

It was a strange week. There was a bereavement on Matt's side of the family. It was expected because of a long illness, but still a shock somehow, and very sad. He's been away, helping sort things out. I've been at home, not doing an awful lot apart from work and writing and rewatching the last season of Angel.

My back is getting better - complaining quietly rather than yelling at me. I'm going to the osteopath later today for more treatment.

Oh, work. I had better get back to it.

condolences to Matt.
always hard to lose someone in the family.

backache is indeed a pain.
i've been slouching so my back's been acting up
so i sat straight all day today and it is a little better.

take care...

Glad to hear you've been looking after your posture. It's easy when we spend so much time at desks and computers to slip into bad habits.

Thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it.

*sigh* even expected a loss is hard to take ... thoughts are with you n Mrlux *hugs*

Take care of yourself my dear.

Love.

Thank you. It's funny, knowing it's going to happen doesn't make it easier. You'd think it would, somehow.

i'm sorry to hear about the bereavement. strange how expecting it doesn't necessarily make it any easier.

at the other end of the scale, how are you feeling about this morning's disaster? i had a bit of email chat with bof this afternoon, she was pretty disconsolate. tarte's reaction was the word "fuck". twice.

Thanks. Yeah, expecting it really doesn't make it easier, which is sort of odd.

Poor Tarte and Bof. :( I feel really a bit down about it all and have done all day, but I'm going to see how the rest of the tournament pans out for him. But judging by today's standards, all I can assume is it's not going to go well. But I might be totally wrong! Roger always seems to be more tentative and nervy in the first rounds anyway. Sigh.

Rafa is out of the Davis Cup. :(

i think the problem with expecting it is that your grief is more real straight away. with an unexpected death, you have that initial period where you're too shocked to understand, and you're sort of numb, which is probably worse in the long term. idk. there's no easy way to lose someone.

i hadn't heard about rafa. that's really sad. he'll be gutted too :(

I'm sorry to hear about the bereavement. *hug*

Glad to hear your back is feeling better now! Also, I never did get around to seeing the last season of Angel, but I hear it's way better than the fourth (or maybe fifth; whichever one has the Cordy and Connor story). I did get linked to one on YouTube once, something about Spike as a puppet? *g*

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I hope that your back is much better now *hugs*!
