Katsolo's Journal, 11 September 2021

Up since 7, just had first cup of coffee and still need to make breakfast for myself and dogs. Plans for the day have already unraveled. Trying to figure out a lot of stuff including my feelings. I really hate those sometimes and will probably power through life first and process more slowly. (Writes and deletes a bunch of stuff).

Decent walk last night, I don't remember why I didn't swim, I think we just got back too late and I'm emotionally exhausted so I just crashed. Didn't sleep at all two nights ago and my body was catching up. Did eat a bit too much granola because the one I usually get was out and they brought the one that tastes like oatmeal cookies and the restraint was low because I had a glass of bubbles on an empty stomach. Logging it and down anyways. Full serving vs. 10g in yogurt. The world will keep turning and I know what I did and how to address it. Had a light dinner anyways.

I think the reason the losses are hitting me so hard is that all three of them were long term mentors to me and it was just a crazy triple hit in two days. Two ex-bosses I've known since I started. Solid friends with both of them at this point. We'll have lunch after they leave, but it won't be the same. My girlfriend that passed I've known since before 9/11, and that's what really bonded us at work. We had to slog through utter chaos and keep things moving even though the world was a mess. She left work a few years ago, but we had a scheduled call every couple weeks just to catch up with each other's lives. She was the wicked witch of the east and I was the wicked witch of the west but we had so much fun. The irony of the timing isn't lost on me. We spoke a couple weeks ago and were laughing on how we survived another f'ing life event. She didn't die of covid. I think she's probably proud of that because she would have been pissed if she had. I'm just thankful that my last few texts were expressing concern rather than full of expletives.

Blob down, muscle holding, weight down. Ate another one of those salty chicken things last night with lots of water. I think that's the key along with moving.

Only took one pic last night to send to another friend. Obviously, another very mature one. Computer time over once I hit enter.

Life sucks sometimes, but it levels off eventually. To all those we lost on 9/11, I reiterate that we will never forget. Never has this been more important. Now is not the time to let the idiots in Washington divide us. Onwards.

Sorry Katsolo, 😞💕

It's all good, Shrewd, I managed to hold myself together the past few days, letting myself grieve freely today. As I fix the toilet. Super easy, replacing fill mechanism, but just one ore thing to get done. Because life goes on and I have one bathroom in this house. Go figure.

You're so fucking handy. Just grieving and fixing things and taking it one day at a time. Do you always swim in your pool for exercise? Do you ever just hang out in it and like count how long you can hold your breath under water or just sit and relax? I love the pool but mostly for doing flips and being silly. I'm thinking of you! Sorry, girl!

Hey, we all get losses. Instead of taking it all at once handle it one day at a time.

I have a toilet that flushes! for $15! plumber charged $150 last time and that was a decade ago. this is why I figure stuff out.

What's tearing me apart is that she has a 14 year old daughter. Who's super smart and her death is such a fluke thing. She died of a very rare type of food poisoning. As soon as I collect my wits, I need to reach out to the dad and let him know how sorry I am and that if the daughter wants to talk or even visit, I'm here. Sorry this is coming in bits and pieces. It just is what it is.

Sorry for the loss of your dear friend. Your friendship sounds like a very special one. ❤ Here's to the leveling off. ❤

Kat, I am so sorry about your friend 💔 Loss is always hard, but when they're young it feels so unfair. I think her daughter will appreciate hearing stories about your friendship.

I'm still processing 9/11 20 years later. I dont talk to anyone I know about it. I lived way too close. Worked even closer. I retired from the city a few years later. I am concerned about the fallout debris. I can no longer go downtown. I still haven't gotten counseling for it. I can feel your sorrow. I can only say. One day at a time. Counseling helps. If you have a group or a trusted resource. Try it. The only thing you'll lose is a few hours of your free time. Social workers are available on hotlines. I talk to my doctors & my police friend. Really great bedside manners.

ACB, I can’t even imagine. I avoid it mostly, meaning new blackouts and i just don’t discuss except with a few very close people. Just the way I am, so I understand. Some things are sacred to the soul and shouldn’t be cheapened by the media seeking attention. Much love to you on that one.
