I don't know how I am going to go to work today... A family friend who I have known my whole life passed away yesterday. Im still in disbelief that I will never see her again and now I have to ask for time off work for the funeral. Have you ever had a day where you didn't know how you would keep showing up to work?

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been where you are more than once. Take the time off that you need if you can. If it is not possible, I found that the kids are a great distraction from the grief and can help you get through the day. I hope the positive memories of your loved one bring you comfort.

Thank you so much .💖 You are definitely right about the kids being a distraction. I'm focusing on them right now which helps.

I am so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers are for peace and comfort for you. If you need the time-take it. You have the right to grief.

I so appreciate this. It has been difficult.

Condolences. If you need a day, take a day. You are better off grieving as you need to, then being in class distracted and sad.

You are very welcome. ❤️

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have.

Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post

Anyone know what the process is to get a black license plate on a new car? First time buyer and I’d like to get the black plates directly from the dealer when picking up the car, but not sure if that’s possible with custom order plates (I.e: do I get the white plates at the dealer then have to pay again and wait 3 months for the black ones to come in)

Is it a red flag if someone says they don’t believe in self help books like Atomic Habits, Attached, etc?
