February Stinks

[Piratecat]

Crap, crap and crap. I'm so sorry about your friend, and the vet practice. My thoughts are with you guys.

 

[DragonSword]

Happy Birthday! and sorry that's your life's so crap at the moment.

Don't let the stress beat you. I have no idea what the job market is for your wife's skill set is in Boston, but she at least has time to react and adapt. I am very sorry about your friend.

Consolidate what you are doing. Keep your life simple for now. And, again, don't let the stress beat you.

Good luck, bro.

Happy Birthday

I'm sorry to hear about your trouble, Umbran. Especially the friend you lost. I know what that's like and there is nothing good about it.

If it makes you feel any better I still think that you're one of the very best things about ENWorld.

Chin up, chest out, fists clenched.

Keep on keepin' on, Umbran. We have your figurative back.

 

[Warrior Poet]

Nolite te bastardes carborundum. (My latin is, well, pretty much non-existent, so that's probably wrong, but the sentiment's there) Hang in there. Sorry to hear about the bad month. It's almost the weekend: here's hoping you get to relax a little, get some rest, heal. Good luck to you and your wife, and peace to the family and friends of your acquaintance.

[Umbran]

Thanks, folks, for the supportive thoughts. They are appreciated.


Edit:

Okay, now this is getting absurd.

Having heard that life wasn't exactly roses for us, a friend of our invited us out to dinner Sunday, which was darned nice of her. She called me a little while ago, because she had to cancel. Her Grandfather just died.

Whatever you do folks, no grand gestures to get my spirits up. It isn't healthy.
