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

A bit brighter and little bit more energy and I feel my head is clearer too

well it's a bit more than keeping head above water at the moment, well in a good way, but lots still to do etc ..freeze the water maybe .. now there's and idea .. @Former-Member ..
..yes, same place as 2 weeks ago, you're onto it somehow .. different job, working for different people getting paid by same people tho, will be a lot quieter as in plant will still be running so not hundreds extra people there, like I was last time ..clogging up internet etc

That's really good @Former-Member Any idea what helped you feel better?
In some ways I have felt a little better in the last couple of days. Really flat for half of the day, then ok?
I think it's because I am being super careful about what I eat (sensitive to foods) and I've increased my exercise a little.
I guess you'll be sleeping at the same place then @TAB, meals cooked etc. Sounds good.

Sleepytime for you then, @TAB 
Time for me to get things done so I can go to bed too.
Nighty night to you.

Just moving around a bit more and gardening as made me feel better @Former-Member . Plus getting in and doing some housework always seems to help clear the head too.
I think also doing my volunteer program course as given me a little more confidence and feeling a little bit more like my old self.
I am quite sensitive to foods too- I've had food allegies since I was a baby. I agree exercise is really good for the mind & body, and probably not utilize enough.
I am off to the local zoo tomorrow and looking forward to seeing some shows. I am hoping to have an early night. I probably wont be online much this week.

Hi again @Former-Member
I am looking forward to going to Hawaii- I am not travelling alone. But Hawaii is really safe so I would be quite confident going there on my own though. Where did you travel to on your own? I would not mind going to Canada or Europe next.
I am looking forward to tomorrow at the Zoo and finishing my course. I know its not a huge acheievemnet but its something I didn't think I would do early in the year- I just keep taking taking steps forward. Hope you have a good one. Take it easy!
