Lost My Job and Doubting Myself

((((Changing and Bones))))

::sending little prayer that you feel better soon::

[BonesMS]

Hi Bonesy-

Sorry about the bug, I got one as well! Wish I could share my tea and soup with you. It really does make one feel better to have homemade soup! Keep warm and cozy . drink lots of fluids, and I hope you get the soup you crave!

Love,

Changing

Thanks, Changing.

On top of that, my old microwave oven died (had it for nearly 30 years), and I don't have the energy to stand over the stove.

can tomato puree (optional)
skim milk

Sautee onion and peppers in olive oil until just beginning to go translucent. Add garlic and sautee until all's translucent. Add tomato soup and skim milk. Low-simmer a minute. Blend, pour in mugs, drink, break a sweat, notice yourself feeling astoundingly better.

Looks like BF forgot about the soup.

Losing a job is very disturbing.  I makes us question our abilities and worth.  If you sit down and think about the reasons, you will be able to come up with what happened and how or if you can fix it in the future.  If you don't view this loss as a commentary about your whole "being," you will simply add it to the list of accomplishments and failure which we all have.  Best  Elle.

Hi Elle,
Welcome.

Hope you'll start a thread and share a little, if you'd like.
Those are compassionate words you shared with Bones.

Thought I'd alert you that this thread began over a year ago.
Bones has been through the job mill but now is employed again!

Thanks, Elle, and welcome to the Board.

BF brought a couple of cans of soup.

Better than an old shoe, Bones. He was trying.
Aha. Is the soup-mug half-empty or half-full?

Hope you added garlic to it and snorked down lots!

The soup has been completely consumed.

This cold seems to have traveled from my head to my chest and my voice is gone.  I can't work if I can't answer the phone.

Oh Lord Bonesy- I know it is so rotten to try to function with a cold/flu. I wonder if we can dispatch a couple of St. Bernards with a warming drink in one dog's flask, and a cup of homemade chicken soup with the the other one? Or maybe your boyfriend will be back by! Hope you get better fast!

Love,

Changing
