Coffee and weather, 18 March

Good morning everyone

My SIL is a Keurig user; there's a big load of Kirkland brand Breakfast Blend capsules waiting for you to enjoy.

It's 30°F in Lansdale PA and clear (I suppose; at this hour I'm not inclined to go out and confirm it). We'll have sun and a high of 62.

I'll finish the patio today, I expect.

My next older brother called yesterday evening to share the news that our other brother (our parent's oldest child) had dropped dead between 0500 and 0600 Eastern time that morning. He was 74 and the poster child for healthy living.

I'm absolutely stunned, and still mentally numb from the abrupt departure of one of the biggest lights in my personal sky.

Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it NOW, TODAY, because tomorrow may be too late.

So sorry to hear this bad news, my condolences to you and your family. I will be thinking about you.
 
Thanks to all for your outreach and caring. In a very real way, although we've mostly never met, I count you as among my actual, real-world friends and not "Facebook friends".

This is the third death in my immediate family that you've shared in, since 2017 when my father passed. On each occasion I've really valued and been comforted by your collective support.

Here's hoping there won't be any more, for a very long time.
 
I had started to type out a g'mornin' but it ends up bein' a g'devnin' y'all! The coffee has well since percolated through and out of my body by now. But it was still appreciated as in-office tasking is getting to be a pain...heck just getting TO the office is a pain!

I can't remember the weather way back in the morning, but it was beautiful outside...too nice to waste in the office! Couldn't even get enough people to play volleyball outside during lunch. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better but some dips**t had to schedule a noontime meeting to "introduce" a new manager...just send me a memo as I'll never talk to them just like I never talked to the last one!

I will say that with the new RTO directive, I've become much more discerning on my walks in/out of the office. I've taken up the task of cleaning up the years of trash that have littered grass alongside the sidewalks. It's just too much a sore sight to walk by every day. So, I don cut-resistant gloves and try to fill a grocery bag's worth of trash when I can. So far I've filled 7 bag's worth and it already looks sooo much better. Heh, I've actually caught the attention of a few drivers watching me then get honked at for not going at the green light. Bad thing is now I see even the trash that isn't near my walking path and I want to clean that up too! Dunno if I want to commit THAT much, but the OCD in me just sees an unfinished goal. I have to set limits....but, no...but...NO...BUT......arrgghhh.

To Keith, I am terribly sorry for your loss. I've but one older sister left and could not bear the thought of losing her. May your family heal together and find peace.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilis. (can't believe I had to write this twice in one day)
