Thrilling Friday report, see man:

 

Mini-B. went aysheep this morning, tearful wee man.

Mrs. T-B. again reasoned with him, this time without yelling, reason nonyelling she to wee man.

Mini-B. didn't get started till noon but completed most of what he had to do, achieve wee man.

Before his bedtime, we lounged in bed and watched a Netflix movie, vegetate we & she & wee man.

However, in-person sales also continue, Essential Business man.

You are not a failure. This pandemic is destroying businesses and lives. There is not much any small business could have done to prepare for it or even predict it.

You are NOT a failure, JMany ma'am.  Not not not not not, no JMany ma'am.

Grieve for a while, then consider whatever alternatives are available, si ma'am.

And he's in as few pieces as possible, si JMany ma'am!

 Thank you. Thank you both. I have been taking all of this soooo personally. Like I failed. 

I am trying to get the PPE loan so everyone will be paid and some of our families have been willing to pay (even though they are at home). I got the bank to reduce the loan from 8 grand to 4 grand. I am trying. Desperately. 
But when do you just give up?

Mini-B. understood a lot better this time, up-growing wee man.

He understood that the Angel of Death was a depiction and not real today, scared last time wee man.

If he goes into hospice, he can stay right where he is. He won't be moved from the room he is in, and his Doc is still in charge. They will stop the feeding, no more meds, or insulin. They will still treat his hypertension, and of course see that he is comfortable.

 

I'm so sorry to hear that Stay strong, no matter what ❤️ You said before that you've had a discussion about what to do in a situation like this. I hope this will give you a peace. I can only give you a virtual hug

I shut down my business today. I have applied for all of the loans and hopefully we will be able to pay the employees and keep the buildings (including my house next door). Hopefully all of this will work out. I am feeling a bit like a failure.

You're not a failure! You have to think about the future. You have to survive. Keeping my fingers crossed for that ❤️

Almost all of our staff has been furloughed. It sucks but it is what this pandemic has done.  As a whole I hope we come out of this better than the great depression.

Big hugs, I know I'm a fighter and some times fight too long. Listen to your gut and your head not your heart.

I hope so too. I still hope that everything will be okay in a few months I am just trying to keep on keeping on. I have a close relationship with the people I work with....I’m trying to help them complete paperwork and help with food and supplies (I have always been a bit of a hoarder.....not in a “trash piles up to the ceiling way”......more like “I have an extra bottle of ketchup for your meatloaf” way). I think it’s why it’s all getting to me.....I know I have my husband and I (we will be fine) and I work with my best friend and sister (she will be fine). But I created a family.....I just want to make sure they will be fine.....

That’s the problem.....my gut says to “get the hell out now.....do what you love, start over” and my heart says “you have people here that you love and are attached to”.
 

I’m 48 years old married to an Algerian that is unable to file for ROC for the next four months....plus I have 2 big dogs (both 5 years old) that I am unwilling to leave behind. 

 

I haven’t traveled in four years. And I miss it. There’s no words to describe how much I miss it......

 

My gut says to “eeffff it”. And to “live the life you imagined”. I think I’m gonna start working on that.
