It's all good, Leshar. I feel 100% secure and safe here at SR. I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
Today was a very nice day. I had one of the best shifts I've had at work in a long time, just ate a nice late dinner, watched a good episode of Jessica Jones, and I'm going to go read in a hot bath for a while Good morning soon to Wolfie, good afternoon to all my friends down under, and good night to the rest of my international classmates! Talk to you all tomorrow.

We had a crazy person stalking the March 2016 class for a bit who got banned for saying some truly awful things to our more vulnerable members and came back at least twice with other usernames after that. This person also seemed to be obsessed with me in particular, though I wasn't one of those vulnerable folks. Made me start to question my anonymity here so I took a couple of small steps to protect it, though I've resisted the urge to change my username as well.
Sorry guys, huge computer issues...you all know I love you, and would be here every minute if I could.
So much love everyone. ♥
Do your best

Haha, Wolfie, bits and bobs! I say that too! My Canadian friends have no idea what I mean. Larry adopted a lot of those sayings from me after we got to know one another. Like, it's all much of a muchness, six of one and half a dozen of the other. I thought it was so cute!
Venus, sorry about your computer issues. Mine is making horrible cranking, whirring noises lately. Still working, but I doubt for much longer.
Hope all are well.

First of my two days off. It poured down rain here last night and is supposed to start again at 6 tonight for the next 18 hours so I'm trying to get a ton of errands ran before then since my main mode of transportation is a bicycle. Wishing you all the best today! Talk to you later.

Hi Casey,my you must be fit, biking everywhere!
Ok guys, I hope you might help me, give me some feedback. I think I may have mentioned visiting my sister in July. I really dislike July here, it's horribly humid and hot. She's in England by the way. I had used airmiles to spend a week with her then go to Scotland on my own for a week. I really don't want to go to Scotland on my own at this point. I'd love to go at some point, I've never been there, but I just don't feel like I will be in the mood to travel alone at this point.
I haven't visited my sister in her home for 5 years. I saw her and my bro at a wedding in January.
My sister is very moody and takes offence easily. She didn't respond after I wrote that I was worried about her after she said she was tense and had hit her puppy.
I sent her some pics from our play rehearsal and she wished me well for the run. Very brief.
She complains of terrible anxiety which I'm sure she does have, but her drinking doesn't help.
Anyway, I just sent her an email to ask her if it would suit her if I changed my plans and whether it would be better for her if I returned on a Sat or Sun.
I'm really torn. I don't even know if I want to go. Sometimes it feels like I'm walking on eggshells around her and on occasion she has a major meltdown. So why did I even think of visiting you ask? I guess I'm lonely and would like to get away and see her and her family and spend time in London, go to some shows, galleries.
I'm also worried about being around her and her hb every night at dinner. They have at least a bottle, sometimes more, of red wine. But I can't just stop being this, can I? I have no temptation to drink, but it's a stress I admit.
I suppose what I'm asking is if I should cancel the whole trip. I'm tempted. There's a different vibe towards me from my sis, since I stopped drinking. She's definitely colder. I don't like to lie though, if I said I couldn't come.
Thanks for listening, if you got this far. I know I will have to make up my mind soon. Would have to cancel before the end of May.

Thanks, guys. She just responded to my email with what I thought was a cursory note saying what ever day was fine and that she was tired from working and would write later, which she never does. I'd asked her about her son, he was doing a triathlon in Spain and sent her a cast and crew pic, and she didn't mention anything about either thing.
I really don't feel in the mood to go travelling alone. I have done so, but just don't feel in the mood at present.
After I got my sister's email this evening, I began to get a stomach ache and had to lie down, I'm letting myself get wound up.
I don't think it's good for me to go. Things are different with my sister and I got quite down after the wedding. I need to protect my mental health. I made the decision about Mark for the same reason. Rehearsals for the new play begin mid August and I want, as much as possible, to be in good shape for this. I fear returning from England and not doing well. I don't know why I thought things might be different, I've had nothing but evidence to the contrary from my sister in the last months.

Hi Gang!
Happy belated birthday, Wolfy.
My daughters BD was the 16th as well.
Not much to report here. Been doing a lot of work in the yard. Walking my husky daily and working for a living.
I'm watching the Red Sox game. They lost the first game of a double header.
Hoping to get my screen house up before the 3 day weekend Memorial Day.
