A secondary definition for the word layoff, according to Merriam Webster, is “a period during which someone does not take part in a customary sport or other activity.” Read: a period when one slows the f- down.
No words of advice, okay well maybe one or two. At times like this--and oh so quickly can I jump into my own fears, the image of the bag lady sitting on a corner in the financial district--feel your feelings but remember feelings aren't facts. Not sure if that has resonance, but for me there are moments where my thoughts and feelings feel like the gods of origin, and damn can they change quickly those capricious bastards. Do all that you are doing, take walks, be with, talk to friends, study the hummingbird, listen to the animals in the bushes, meditate. Hugs.
Those slippery MFers are The Worst. One second all is well, next I’m wide eyed and gripping the sofa. Yes, I definitely resonate here. Thank you for being a glorious human, Suzanne. 🤍
+1 to your secondary but fantastic definition of layoff. As the song from Gypsy says, "you'll be swell, you'll be great, gonna have the whole world on your plate." Carla, for you things are coming up roses because you've been tilling that ground so well.
Hear, hear. Rinse and repeat my dear. You are an angel to us all.
Love youuuuuuuuu.

Linda, thank you so much. 🌹 I feel like I might need to watch Gypsy this weekend.
