It’s been a tough day today. And the happy thoughts and prayers would still come in very handy.
I can’t tell you much at the moment except that part of my close family is struggling. They are struggling, and battling, and awaiting information/advice/diagnosis, and there’s nothing much any of us can do except be there when they need us.
We hadn’t realised how bad things were for them. We knew things were hard, but we had no idea how hard until now. I just hope they know how much they are loved, and thought of, and treasured. And that they are amazing people who will get through this.
Sorry this is a bit of a downer post, but, there’s not much else in my head right now. I just feel so weighed down with worry for them.
This might make some of you smile though.
We had another little visitor in my kitchen this morning.
But this time it was worse than ever before.
Yes.
It’s on my worktop, just near the microwave.
Did you know I dislike slugs??
Of course you did.
But me? I think they may believe I am their queen.
{{{HUGS!!!}}}
and EWWWW!
Lots of prayers, positive and happy thoughts coming right your way. But the slug can bugger off.
Mya x
why can’t they just leave you alone!!!!!!!!
Best wishes for your family. I’m sorry. But omigosh, more slugs?!
oh the scary word, “diagnosis.” i do wish you and your family absolutely the best. i know how hard it is to wait and not know.
I’m afraid I’m missing the point. Just how exactly is a damn creepy, crawly slug supposed to make me feel better?
I can usually cope with a crisis, it is something like the slug that would make me come unglued. All best wishes for you and your family. I hope there is good news soon.
So, uh, Queen? How exactly do slugs show their respect? They can’t bow now, can they? Seems they are as low as they can get. Just wondering…
And still sending thoughts and prayers your way for your family.
I’m glad a bit of absurdity presented itself to give you a temporary distraction.
Rest up…heartache is so wearying. And we’re here if you need to vent in any fashion. We don’t just come for the jokes, we come because you’re a wonderful woman whom we love to bits. ~hugs~
Sending much love and hugs to the family. I am thginking of you all (I even dreamt about you all last night!!)
How about some sort of slug stew? Seems a shame to waste them. They’d be full of protein I’m sure xx
still sending the good thoughts.
and i think the last thing you want to be is a slug queen. that’s bad branding.
I will keep you and your loved ones in thoughts and prayers, with hope for good news.
I couldn’t find “slugs” or even “insects” in my list of patron saints, but the patron saints of gardens are St. Adelard and St. Fiacre. Perhaps they’re not busy right now and will take over your slug problem. Of course, being the patron saint of slugs is bad branding as well.
Thoughts and prayers with you and yours.
I think it’s the Chinese Year of the Slug this year, so it must mean triple lucky love auspicious graces are coming your way.
Positive thoughts and oodles of Reiki to your loved one.
I hate slugs too!
Big hugs winging their way over Jo. Sorry have been away…hope things’ll get better
OH jo…..I have so been there. Just last September. KNowing that people you care about are suffering in any way is so hard. I am thinking of you…sending prayers. and tons of hugs!
Thanks Annette.
Thanks Mya. And I wish they blumming would.
Cami, they must love me. I have no idea why. I do not want the slug love.
Lee, thanks. And the slugs? I know.
Laurie, the waiting is the hardest part as they have already had enough. Each day we’re a little closer I know, but it still seems like a long road ahead.
Willowtree, the slugs have been harassing me for so long that it is quite funny. They love me. Or at least, my kitchen. I’m wondering if there’s a slug labour ward under my washer.
Mrs Weasley thank you. You are so lovely.
Thanks Belle. And slugs show their respect by leaving slimey gifts and visiting regularly. I did have one try to doff his hat at me, but then he realised he didn’t have a hat. (I’m saying he, as no lady could be that ugly, even a slug lady.)
Kim, that is just so lovely. Thank you. It really means a lot.
Ingenious, if I make slug stew, you have to eat it, ok? And I don’t as I’m veggie. Phew.
Holly, thanks sweetie. And you’re right, I should probably aim higher than slugs. I’ll have a think.
PixelPI your comment made me laugh. Some saints to get the rougher stuff don’t they?
Sandy, thank you.
Thanks Akela. Everything helps right?
21st CM, thank you so much.
Corey thanks hon. I remember you going through a tough time. It’s so hard isn’t it. You just want to make everything right but you can’t.
Hugs and prayers for your family.
