i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

That's ok to hear @Shaz51, the thought of the sound of rain sounds relaxing, is it a good or bad thing to you? How was your day?
The day here was nice weather wise, although I spent it distressed by my job agency, now feeling 'emotionally detached', as I would describe it, apparently psychiatrists call this 'dissociation', I hadn't known that word before. As much as I don't like being negative, I don't like being dishonest and saying I'm fine either, although I'm relatively ok.

Yeah @Lostboy .... I'm going okay ....
My latest round of chaos has just passed over, so now I have a lull to start putting my home and hearth back into some sort of order before the spin starts up again ..... 😏
How's going yourself ?

That's okay @Faith-and-Hope, I hope the lull will last with peace for you to concentrate on putting your things in order.
I think I'm still trying to find some such lull that I thought I'd had.

@Lostboy
Is your psych giving you strategies to deal with the feelings of dissociation ?
