I guess I'm just going going to have to use the old insanity plea as my defence. I reckon it's got legs.

Feelings and emotions, the past flooding back dead centre into my frontal lobe and the exhaustion of dealing with family have taken me out big time. It will be a good thing in the long run and think my shrink will agree. Thank goodness for his unflinching support.

This is the first time sobriety has been front and centre for me, so I guess the way I am feeling is pretty much par for the course. I drank to forget, but I can't anymore.

Have cancelled all family commitments for the next week so as to recoup. Guess I won't make 2nd bat for Australia. I'd be lucky to be bringing 'round the oranges at tea.

I hope you will accept my plea as I am completely aware that both you MissP, and sleepie, have always been in my corner and hope you have felt the same of me. I am so sorry.

Glad you are still upright MissP after the soaking, but we aussies know how to swim, hey?
