when life happens to good people
I just don’t feel like blogging. I’m feeling a bit overloaded.
The case is affecting my mood, although The Mechanic and I spent the whole weekend away from it all. We went out on our motorbikes on Sunday for a little hack about and we actually managed to forget everything for an hour or so.
The sad news of yesterday has dampened my spirits even more. It is just tragic. I can’t imagine how our colleague feels, how her own life must suddenly seem suspended, surreal, paralysed. It can be incredibly difficult to pick oneself up from a “life event” like this so she is now on a very long and tough journey, one which she probably can’t even contemplate at the moment. I am surprised at how often she is crossing my mind, given that I never met her sister and she is the PRO that it is probably fair to say I know the least well due to location. Beautiful, funny, friendly and vibrant girl. You wouldn’t wish this sort of thing on anyone, but it seems even more unfair when it happens to someone as lovely as her. She found me on my first day (when I went up to Warwick for a team away day with raging flu!) and looked after me. I remember she said: “It’s always best to stick to someone. You can stick to me” and gave me a great big face-lighting smile.
So, that’s my lot for today. I’ll be back. This evening I am meeting up with respectableside and gekkogirl, so I am looking forward to that.

I’m not feeling the blogging love either. I don’t have much to say.
Your colleague sounds lovely. So awful her sister has gone, I can’t imagine how she is feeling. Must call my sister.
Ditto to PJB. But I am so borrrrred.
That was such a sweet thing for her to say… Usually women can be so bitchy to new women. And how exciting for you, you got to visit Warwick, where I live!
She is lovely, so very lovely. Poor girl.
And I didn’t see much of Warwick. We held our away day at Ardencote Manor, which was very nice. It was a weird way to start a first day. I met so many people and didn’t remember most of them. I am still “re-meeting” them 8 months later…
Aw you have fun with the bloggers. Give gekkogirl a hug for me!
This is so sad. The good die young. She sounds like she was an extraordinary girl. I lost a friend in high school due to a moose/car accident, and she was probably the most beautiful (inside and out) person I have ever met. It’s so sad when they are taken from us too soon. My thoughts are with your coworker and her family.
