- Took my son to a birthday party yesterday. Socialised as best I could but came back feeling a little better.
- Got some chores done around the house.
- Decided to start writing things down again. Whether that's here, on paper or anywhere. At least it's not keeping it all locked up.
Oh my goodness, how splendid! I needn't have thought about the logistics of your wheelchair in my new car then

Also, in case you are interested, I can only find a 3rd Baron North discovering the Tunbridge Wells spa water, but he is the great-great-great-grandfather of the prime minister guy. It was tricky to follow that Wikipedia web, as he was called Dudley, his kid was called Dudley, then three generations in a row were called Francis
Always interested! Disconcerted to learn that my Lord North may have had ideas above his station!

Well done! That sounds so productive and I second the writing idea. I find it surprisingly helpful too and research has actually shown that the act of writing feelings down lessens the intensity of our emotions. So all in all a win I think!

Thank you! I started writing here in the venting forum, hoping it will alleviate some of the built up... i dunno. Pressure, fog? Either way, it helped me a little a while ago, so i'm hoping it will do the same now.

Not so good:
- Lana's poor sock etiquette

- Reminiscing with Beckie about her first ever meet!
