sounds wonderful! I'm amazed you can just pull together dinner for 8- wow.

It sucked when H came home for bedtime. I was really appalled that he was barely even polite to my mother. They have always had a warm relationship.


that sucks. You would hope that he could still be civil to the rest of the family.

But it was great to have the positive energy of eight family members who are rarely all together. I did find myself able to ignore my sitch for good long stretches and that felt GREAT.


That's wonderful, FM. Even if it's fleeting, those moments of feeling better or ignoring/forgetting (as you know) will increase in frequency and duration. I'm glad you had one yesterday!

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go;
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow;
Go ask Alice...
I think she'll know.
