>Hi Virginia,
Sounds like you enjoyed a good ringing in of the New Year!
I had a friend over for a carrot juice toast at 5:00 pm and then visited with the neighbors.
I'm very exhausted these days as my one-year marital engagement was called off two months ago--right before the holidays! This has been an emotionally challenging time, but I'm coming through it well and fine. It is all for the best, though it has been a taxing ordeal. I'm going to go to a day spa this coming weekend.
Good you talked to someone in person about your current diagnosis. Sharing eases the burden.
There is an interesting post on Schizophrenia further down this board. You've probably seen it. It contains a good article.
Stay well,
Mimi
Hi Mimi,

> Back home at last. Parties are always a bit tedious, but are helpful in bringing together friends who would otherwise never see each other. After a late night we all went and had a swim in the ocean this morning early, which felt like a good, positive start to the new year. Thank you for your wishes - may you also have a peaceful year of growth, good health and interesting things.

> Thanks very much for signalling this book – I’ll have a look at the bookstores when they re-open on Saturday to see if I can find it. If not I’ll wait until my order from Amazon arrives before placing a new one. Unfortunately the shipping seems to cost more than the value of the books, so I think I will have to place larger orders in future to make it worth while. Sorry you got rapped over the knuckles about the double inverted comma’s – if you do write to Dr Bob, let him know that I went to Amazon via the Psycho Babble website which you had pointed me towards, so he should be getting his commission on the two books I ordered at $19.60 (it would be better if he could collect a percentage of the shipping costs at $22.97 – LOL).
