I tried connecting to Clubhouse yesterday repeatedly and to no avail. I ended up uninstalling the app and reinstalling it in the evening and all was better.
I feel okay. I've been a bit down in the dumps though. I used to do a great deal of community theater and found out that one of my friends who I've worked with on stage and off stage passed away after a long illness with COVID-19. She tends to be a private person, she doesn't want a wake or service. So the theater is going to do a Celebration of Life amongst ourselves with the blessing of the family on August 1st.
I got curious about people that I worked for at the telephone company from 1980-1995. I found out that my favorite manager and a supervisor had both passed a long time ago (2011, 2019). It just makes me sad.
But, no pity party. I can't say I'm over it. I would like to have thanked the manager I worked for at the phone company for believing in me so much and so often. He said, "You only get to volunteer once." And I always did, special project after special project. He was an amazing man. I looked up to him. The supervisor is the one I took an early "retirement" from. I remember being offered (along with all of my counterparts) an early retirement buyout. I took it. I'm glad I did in some ways. In other ways, not so much.
Anyway, just wanted everyone to know that I am okay and that I hope to be back in our Clubhouse next week. I love you all. Thank you for being so loving and supportive. It's nice to have "family" from another mother.

Jody...thank you so very much. You build me up with your kind words. I'm not used to it. As I said, I mostly wanted to let people know I am doing okay and just haven't been available to hop on Club House and when I did on Thursday. The app wasn't working. I needed to uninstall and re-install it. That got it working again. Didn't want anyone worrying about me since I have been on so often. Hugs and love to you and all of my family on Clubhouse and Mendable.app
