Hi @Former-Member
I think I caught the tummy bug - I don't think I ate anything sus - yeah - I ate the best part of a cook chook but if that was off I think I would have been a hospital case -
It started with a bad headache on Saturday - and if I take a strong tablet I will feel drowsy the next day - and I did - another headache and so tired I could not get out of my own shadaw - and slept all day - which did not bother me at all - and normally such an event would cause me to wonder and I was just glad the day was passing - lots of thunder and rain - mmmmm - just kept waking up to notice - felt terrible on Sunday night and the "glad I was at home event" happened in the morning and apart from feeling not myself all day - and not eating much at all - I am okay today -
We can pick up things like that anywhere - I am more concerned if it was something I ate because I don't want to repeat the experience - but when all is said and done - we all have moments like these
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - thanks for your kind comments though - and yes - it did aggravate my back pain - as did staying in bed so long - not good
4 dogs would be stressful - actually for me 1 would be one too many
And that was a terrible dream - let's have another look at it. I can sometimes interpret deams but not that one - except that in your real life you don't know who to trust with your deepest self - and people crashed into your house and took over and you were taken out of your safe place in the world -
That is a real nightmare -
I will think about that one Tawnz - it's worth thinking about

OMG @Former-Member - you have me soooo confused!!! You are here, there and everywhere - you are different people - I can't keep up - please tell me you aren't going to change again - my brain won't cope lol
I understand that feeling when a profile pic pops up and you are adversely affected (even momentarily) by it. I am starting to feel a little less anxious with one of those myself now - but still very wary! I think that you do have to respect someone's wishes in the example you gave but also don't take it personally - giving a like is showing that you have 'heard' someone and what they choose to do with that sentiment is theirs to deal with - not yours. So don't be so hard on yourself and don't change - keep listening and keep caring, and keep being you - that is all anyone can ask for my friend

Oh @Former-Member
Sorry you took it that way. Not glad at all. I had a little strain as I wrote that, but was also deeply exhausted talking with dying brother on the phone every day and having my own crisis and emergency dept night.
For me, I had regressed to a state where all I could say was "where are all the grown ups, where are all the grown ups?" I get into a state where all I know is to let go. I also get dropsies with handling stuff, because I am not used to it, I wasnt being glib. Far from it.
I have lower expectations of life in some ways. My expextations are on me and my rising to the task and often I fall down.
So very very weary of dealing endlessly with grief. I thought maybe you were feeling good about your volunteer role and saw a life opening up for you.
I think the zoo is very good for me, but it also means less time online.
