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

What time is your fitess class tomorrow @Former-Member . I have EP session tomorrow afternoon at 5.15pm.
I also have my volunteer homework tomorrow I have done it, I just have to write it up. And I am anxious about this because it needs to be perfect.
My sleep is still not ideal but I am going to try some more natural type of mediction to hopefully reset my body clock. I am not sure if it will help I think my sleep is affected by my anxiety levels and plus I have a broken sleep- I think its starting to get to me a bit (rollcoaster of emotions).
I am in week 2 this wk for my volunteer program and so after tomorrow I will be half way through it.

Do you play computer games or anything like that to distract @Jacques? I do jigsaw puzzles on my iPad which works 90% of the time.

At least try to relax a bit with deep breathing @Jacques .... while sleep is the ideal, even resting gives your body the chance to renew its cells and do the recharge it needs to function properly. Can you listen to some gentle music ? The doctor told us that the melatonin meds are not addictive. They work like taking a headache tablet, apparently. There are also natural sleep support products available.
More packing and sorting here tomorrow @Former-Member. I'm still repacking my suitcase and juggling weight with hand-luggage .... I like to be a bit artistic with the clothes I wear ... it lifts my spirits especially when things are difficult .... my inner child playing dress-ups maybe .... 😏 ... so I don't want to have to leave my favourite things out, but I can't take them all ....
Once I'm done I have to chase a couple of baby dragons to do the same. And D2 can't manage hers without a lot of supervision, or she ends up with everything she wants and nothing she needs.
Hi @Former-Member ... 😊

@Former-Member I think the plan is to find something to distract you and @Jacques. How about what is the last good movie you have seen?
the last movie I saw at the cinema was Bridget Jones baby and I recently saw 'The Help' for the first time
@Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope and whoever else is around.

I'm usually the one who's packed the kitchen sink @Faith-and-Hope. When we used to go camping we looked like the griswolds with the car overful and trailer packed high.
