Re: not coping

@outlander oh. i dont watch that much tv, but we saw an old B&W comedy with Cary Grant which was a bit average, and we both preferred a David Lynch movie.

Its good to be able to distract though.

i met someone today in real life who I had known for a couple of years online.

its a strange new world, but really good to get to know her. She is in her 20s but we chattered for 6 hours, walked around the river and ate twice.

hope you are alright

Re: not coping

Hey lil Sis @outlander. Thinking of you sweetheart. Sorry you're going through yet more health issues. That must be utterly exhausting.

Thanks for your message @Snowie. Christmas was OK for me. New years was awful, as it often is.

its really good to see you @Sans911 itll be a lifelong battle now. have another surgery and major treatment coming up in a few months. they wanted earlier but i cant afford any more time off work now. how are you going? how are the cats going? still the 2 boys?

@Sans911 @Shaz51 @Snowie @Eve7

Yes I was similar @outlander usually having friends a lot older, but I am getting on meself, and it is just the way it panned out. I also met a lovely woman in her 40s this week who I have known for a year online. So that was the big theme of this week, meeting people in real life.

Today I went for lunch with my son and a friend, so feeling pretty spoiled with all the eating out and fancy food at home, and I haven't even put weight on. Yay!

Hugs all
