Have you and your daughter heard of the Ka’au Crater Boys?
I have never heard the ukulele played like that in my life!
Unfortunately I can’t show the permalink on my phone.

Well, Dee—now you’ve cosmically provided a peaceful closure to my day, and I can hopefully go get some rest! 
BTW—nothing whatsoever against smartmouths. I was a very sassy smartmouth in my younger days, and I relished every second of it!

Checking in before I go to Uni. I don’t really have anything planned for this weekend, just loads to do for the final hand-in... I’m a bit worried about tomorrow, Saturdays are always a huge trigger... My BF works a double shift every weekend and I used to get plastered as soon as he left the flat (‘Finally... he’s gone, so I don’t have to hide my bottles like an alcoholic!’ 
). I thought I’m back at work tomorrow but they just texted me it’s not gonna be busy so I can have a day off. Oh well. Gonna stay close to you guys ❤️

Some good news. Many of you know of daughters struggle with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts that came to light around March 2017. Well her Psychiatrist contragutlated her on her amazing progress and discharged her. She still has her therapist and the family doctor will continue to monitor her progress. But she is really pumped. She feels that is closure now and her door to the future has opened wide. She's made contact with old freinds, has decide what to study in school, and is job hunting.
My relationship with her has really grown over the past year and a half and we've become close. My alcoholism prevented me from this in the past. I like to think that I was an influence and helped in her recovery. And of course I could not have done that without my own recovery and in turn not without SR and all you guys-n-gals.
So, Thank you.

Sending positive vibes Venuscat.
Well done for not losing it Evan.
I am reading about Veterans day but have only just realised we have Monday off too, the unimaginatively named Spring Bank Holiday. A nice surprise although it means changing some dates on my worksheets especially as by customers have really been getting up my nose recently with last minute changes.

That is beautiful news for your family Dragon.
I'm better....I was able to go back to sleep....really not sure how anyone stays asleep with birds chirping at 4am. Life is so different here....still trying to adjust. I need my sleep....
Thank you beautiful people for caring....I am with you Snufkin honey, this weekend is a big holiday weekend here and I want to stay close as well....it makes me a little edgy. Nick and I just planned a day in Akron tomorrow....finally going to see Dr Bob's house.....

That sounds like a nice trip, Suze. I have it lifts your spirits some.
What wonderful news, Dragon! I’m sure your daughter is deeply grateful for the love, support, and presence you’ve shown to her in her darkest hour. This clean bill of health is a triumph for both of you.
Snuf, I hope your imagination bubbles over with things to occupy you this weekend. Hopefully you can get a bit of enjoyment from the surprise day off.

Hi, weekenders.
Dragon - that is really great news! Happy for you both.
Venus - hugs to you.
Me...I am just miserable.
I can't force myself to enjoy anything here.
It's so ironic.
I am near the sea. I wake up to birds chirping. I am going to some sightseeing soon.
I can't take in anything of this.
My emotions are dead. I feel trapped.
Sorry.
I just feel what I feel.
