- he liked it! They said it's due to his health (they don't know about his mental health issues & I doubt it would have been obvious, as he 'presents well'.) I think they hired too many people & just decided to let him go. He missed one day, nearer to the first, with kidney pain. Apart from that, he's always been there & always arrived quite early & clean, etc. And he's quite friendly with people, so I don't know! He was working in lunch-type shop. He is VERY disappointed - said it's the first job he's had that he really liked.
I was VERY upset when it happened on Wednesday. Then yesterday HE was VERY depressed & said he ruined his life by going out to BC 2 years ago & if he'd just cleaned up his life he wouldn't have gotten really messed up & lost so much....that he has ruined his life & now he just get's drunk to hide from things. I was surprised to hear him say THAT. I guess at least a part of him is in touch with what he does. But that didn't stop him going out drinking. Oh well.
> I'm in with TC..I sure am glad you posted because I had become concerned about you.
***oh Thanks Pat :-) Sorry if I worried anyone. I'm just now reading these new posts & you know, it feels so NICE having this "family"!! I don't have parents living, or siblings, or any family who I'm really in touch with, so it feels good to have special people who know "my stuff" & care about me & are so supportive. Thank you all.***

> You know, they are never, ever grown. Mine are hitting 41 and 39 and they still get on my nerves.
> The young one lectured me today for 10 minutes about what her 9 year old can and cannot do here this weekend. I so wanted to say something like, "you mean I can't let her play in the street?".......******I guess it never ends, right?***
> How old is the son now? I forgot.
******He's 24. Actually you know, he's on a disability pension due to schizophrenia & we have a joint bank account & I 'take out' the rent part & the payment for his cellphone. So I did take that part out & am saving it. Since last June, he hasn't had a bank card & I've been giving his his money weekly. I agree - I need to do what I can to help make MY (& my husband's) life as sane as possible!! *******
> I feel for you, I really do. Been there. As you know. :-)
******I sorta forget your details Pat, but I know you've been able to relate to 'waiting for the next shoe to fall' or whatever that saying is.**
> Take care of yourself. A long hot bubble bath will do wonders..a glass of white wine, maybe?

************Thanks Pat. I've been so tired this week & today had a daytime nap - something I never do, as I'm hardly EVER tired in the daytime (have trouble getting up, but usually once I'm up I have a lot of energy!)
I love bubble baths, so will increase their frequency. I don't drink - but I LOVE tea & especially Tim Horton's 'steeped tea' - LOL - & tonite I suggested hubby & I go out for Indian dinner - yum.
I've been having trouble making myself eat over the last few days. So I've been trying to nibble on trail mix...am going to buy some apricot juice tomorrow; I love that.Thanks for your support. It means the world to me.
xoxo Kath
