Julia, I missed the board yesterday because I was out GAL until late last night. I went with a GF to a free movie premier of a movie titled "Adam". It's about a young man with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism in which individuals function fairly normally but with difficulty grasping social concepts such as empathy and telling "little white lies" to smooth over social situations. The script, acting, and social commentary were all excellent! I highly recommend it! It's actually very humorous and warm, even though the topic sounds like a bit of a downer.
I'm sorry to hear about your strained back. Have you tried putting ice or moist heat on the strained area and taking anti-inflammatories (i.e. aspirin, ibuprofen)? Maybe soaking in a cool swimming pool along with some gentle swim strokes to stretch out would help to soothe the discomfort? I am hoping that you will be able to go for your walk tomorrow morning. You could always start out with the group and if the back is bothering you too much you could hop on public transit to get back home????? I'll be waiting for your update......
Re: "dropping the rope" and your super-charged GAL activities, is it possible that you have chosen the perfect backdrop (London) to showcase your fabulous new life? If your H is "sowing his wild oats" (does this translate?) he might find your fabulous new life in London particularly interesting!!! How can OW living in the suburbs compete with the exciting and interesting Julia????
