Granny and so it continues

This was meant to be a short post to wish you all a great Christmas.

Unfortunately, while I DO hope you all had a great time, it has been simply horrific for me.

Some time back I said, to someone, I will be glad when 2023 is over.
2023 said “you think?”
First I got Covid.
Really badly.
Thought I was going to die.
After five days flat on my back, I was able to drag myself up.
Finished the antibiotics.
The slightest exertion sent me back to bed.
Am still coughing and spitting.
But, feel much better.

Then my ex boss phoned me.
To tell me my favourite customer had died.
A really fit guy who had never had a drink or a cigarette.
Such a shock.

Today I was devastated.
A young tenant and I had become really good friends.
He is younger than my kids but we just clicked.
He would walk over to my place and we would talk for two hours.
His sister sent me a message this morning.
He passed away yesterday afternoon.
He had an abscess in his stomach.
It burst and he bled to death.
In hospital.
This was the final straw.
I have cried a bucket.

Now you know why I have not been posting!
