Great thread Katie!

Thanks, Phal! Yeah, I do hear you on romance. In fact, a former BF came over last weekend and blew me off today. Says he'll call me "sometime." Ugh! Major trigger and I will be avoiding him going forward.
I too need to get back into working out. It really does help but I've let things go and am really out of shape so it's hard to start again. I'm curious, but what do you mean paranoia?
