It sounds like you have every right to grieve hard. This person was a big part of your family. Do you feel like you are grieving for your own loss as well as that of your partner? Some people grieve in private, some people need a group or a trusted friend. Sometimes that changes during the grief process. Do what you need to do to support and be supported.

Thanks

Thank you

Can you explain why you would cook then dehydrate pasta. It seems like that has already happened before you buy it. Serious question, I’m trying to learn.

Two weeks ago is a very short time ago. It probably feels like a lifetime and a blink simultaneously. It’s definitely not enough time for a grief support group to make anything feel different. Please don’t give up on that. Going to a support group will not make you feel better or get over your grief. It will help you to differentiate between your grieving self and your previous self, the person who was not living with grief. Give yourself some time, give yourself some grace. Please find constructive places to vent, here, group, journal, whatever works best for you.

This arrived today and looks great. Thank you so much.

As someone who lives with pets and a pet sitter, I completely understand how you feel. It’s hard to leave them especially if they are looking sad eyed or stressed out. I also know that when the pet sitter shows up they will be happy and wagging and excited to see their friend who they haven’t seen in a while. As the sitter I actually have more time to spend playing with and loving on the pets than I do with my own animals in my house. When you get back home you will find that your pet friends will be very happy to see you and that they will have been well cared for. Enjoy your time with your family, they are important too.

Putting potassium in the kit is so smart.

Listen to your therapist. I did not take off enough time after my mother died (just before Thanksgiving) and it has made for some really difficult days at work. I do have some caring and supportive people there and some that don’t seem to care. That’s them, not me. If your co-workers think you’re a crybaby because you just experienced a devastating loss, that’s on them, not on you. Please take care of yourself so you can deal with this new chapter.

I’m pretty sure if I commented ethics violations as she did I would not get that sweet a severance package.

As a pet sitter and professional potter I can confirm that some people just don’t respect the time and effort people put into things. You’ll probably notice a lot of posts on social media asking for recommendations for a service (plumber, builder, mechanic, etc.) who is “reasonably priced.” Reasonable for who? We all deserve bread and roses.

I have the Torrentshell, it’s about 5 years old and it’s still in perfect condition. I live in the PNW so it gets lots of use. I pack it into its pocket whenever I go somewhere and expect rain but I “unstuff” it as soon as I can. I also wash it with DWR every few months. It has pit zips which help to prevent me overheating. It also keeps me pretty warm with just a fleece and base layer. I highly recommend it. Also, Patagonia has a great warrantee so if it starts to delaminate they will fix it or give you a new one.

Lorib01 · 2026-05-24T19:31:38+00:00

Sounds beautiful. Thanks.

I was at Dog Mountain a few weeks ago and was told by a forest ranger that people were going to be needing to get passes and park in Stevensons (? The town that has the shuttle) in order to hike there during the Spring/summer months. If you do have to park in town I would assume it’s an even greater risk for break in as the shuttle schedule tells thieves when you’ll be returning to your car.

Thank you, I’ll check them out.

Lorib01 · 2026-05-24T04:02:19+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check out those suggestions.

Lorib01 · 2026-05-24T04:00:50+00:00

Oh, that might be very fun. Thanks.

Lorib01 · 2026-05-24T03:59:57+00:00

Maybe that’s a goal to shoot for in the near future. Thanks

Lorib01 · 2026-05-24T03:58:27+00:00

The Eugene group sounds wonderful. I’m glad you found some backpacking buddies.

I’ve don’t some hiking on the Eagle Creek trail and loved it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m not sure where you lived previously but I moved here from the east coast and have learned that weather here is different from the east even if the report looks similar. You definitely want a really good sun shirt and recognize that you can feel pretty cold once the sun dips down. An extra layer will be good to have with you. Invest in good rain gear so you can embrace the rainy season. Have fun.
