After this week I want nothing more than to go home,
crawl into bed and stay there until Monday morning. UGH!

I'll try to make my rounds.
However, I'm already behind schedule, so it's iffy.
But, you stay right where you are.
Don't leave the room...I'll be bock!

Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM - DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

No improvement, Meg, sorry to say - feel weaker the last couple of days than earlier in the week. Made it to choir practice last night, but I was so fatigued I could barely sing. Still have no idea what’s causing this.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

Hope you're staying dry this morning! TGIF!!!

[MEG33]

Prayers you can find and correct this awful fatigue..I am so sorry!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Meg!
