Oh (((Julia))) - hormonal, Julia!! What's the matter with you? GO GET CHOCOLATE GIRL - don't you know anything??!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!

I tell you, I'm not making light of your current thoughts - I think that you know me better than that by now and I know that I may have to walk in your shoes very soon when H goes away on his holiday. (Don't know if he is being 'accompanied' but let's just say that I think it unlikely that he would go on his own).

Now then, what can we do to cheer you - apart from more snuggles with Maple? These cats KNOW when we are most down. I couldn't move for mine the past few nights but last night, they must have sensed my lift and neither slept with me. The white furry one is right now sitting by my left hand as I type this!! She is sending you a cuddle too ((prrrrr))!

Whatever anyone says at these low points, you feel the support but sometimes the words do nothing to lift you. I do think that when you see your brother that it may give you some temporary respite but you still have to come back to it, so what are your plans? List them here please!! Don't know about you but when I have made my 'to do' list and published it, I feel like I am letting you all down if I don't ... so that may be a good strategy for you. You kind of feel forced in to it at first but the rewards are there when you have (eg) a nicely manicured lawn with no weeds!! wink As you undoubtedly know, this is called Diversion Therapy!

Glad that you liked the quote so I have looked up another one for you, here from Mark Twain (1835-1910):

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer someone else up" so, go find someone to cheer and (((hug))) you will feel the benefit too. If not, go find Mark Twain and kick the bejeezers out of him for telling lies smile that should do it! Let us know ...
