Karl, it is my sincere hope that this home brings you comfort as it has for me so often. Life is often hard and cold while Buffista love is soft and warm.

Would that every man had such full kindness in his heart as you, Karl.

Was out late with my parents last night (very fun time at the Lindsay Museum but Mom and I somehow missed all the food so we went for a late dinner after my usual bedtime) and accordingly slept in this morning. After feeding the cats I decided to read a little before really getting the day started and fell back asleep until 2pm. Guess I was tired. Plan not to do that tomorrow...

You are what I call an Alan Alda man - kind, sensitive and open to your feeling. I have also gotten a lot of comfort here as as the opposite- a judgemental woman, so I hope we help.

Thank you, friends. Catching up on Natter, a long, hot shower, dinner, and a nap did manage to bring me back to something approaching normalcy.

Sometimes it's all just a bit much, you know? I count myself very lucky to have all of you and your kind words to lean on.

Hugs to those who need/want them.

You've been through some real shit, Karl. I am glad a bit of a break and some food/showering helped. Gentle hugs here for when you need them.

Oh Sophia. A lot of empathy to you. It is difficult. Echos to what Jesse wrote.

Yay Sue's dad! Continued ~ma for recovry.

A whole lot of love, Karl.

I'm back at work after a difficult weekend, woke up today with a migraine, and I have difficult reading materials to catalog (semi-gov records from a then-important minister on 1948 war. While I love history, it sometimes breaks your heart). But at least it's quiet and there's AC and coffee. And co-worker realized about two weeks ago that I'm not a talkie-socializing person.

Hang in there, Karl.

And co-worker realized about two weeks ago that I'm not a talkie-socializing person.

That seems promising!

Compared to last Sunday morning, I'm in a much better position Lyft-wise: 3 more rides to get to my target bonus total, and 6 more have to be in the prime hours, which go 11am to 1pm.
