Lovely to hear from you again.
I've been thinking (yeah I know..new strange process) and I don't think I'm ready to come back as yet...at least not posting as I was before. But I check in occasionally to read, so I guess I'll probably be tempted to post a few quick comments sometimes.
Problem is that usually leads to further questions and answers etc with me...and I need some time to get myself back into shape..physically and mentally.
Writing is something that doesn't come naturally to me .....so I find it pretty time-consuming..and as well as the emotional "sinkhole" I find admin and the "punishment ethos" is here.., I really feel I need to be able to edit my posts in case I find I've not been accurate...or posted when "down" and really made a "mess" of it@!For the mental side..I've just started at uni, well next week, in some attempt to kickstart my brain. Just covered high school Biology last week..and high school Chemistry earlier this year..Lol, now that must make me an expert<grin>. (Actually I'm a bit surprised at how inaccurate some Phd students are and how little they seem to know on topics THEY mention!) I also try to pick the brains of a few researchers.
I'm hoping I'll cope OK with the assessment, exams etc ..very unsure of that...but I'm only enrolled in one subject.For the mental and physical side.. I felt I had do something to be able to cope/survive.. so went to Vanuatu first(had to try out the Kava) ..then Britain. Couple of trips I've been meaning to do and just kept putting off(like everything)...and yes, they helped so far.
I've recently returned from England and Wales where I enjoyed a fair amount of walking (err pushed myself) to try to get fit..lose weight..kickstart my metabolism and also hormone system..and it really worked!!! ..mind you..I've mostly slept since I returned, so I'm probably undoing a lot of it. England/Wales is so dreamlike at this time of year at least.. you feel like Alice in Wonderland..so it's like walking in a dream..much easier to exercise to do when there is so much to see.
Also TeeJay was unlucky enough to bump into me <grin>..actually he was kind enough to take me around some magical spots that are favourites of his (and mine now too).
I think it's really strange how you seem to be able to pick people you like from an internet forum and they turn out just as nice in real life.Lar, TJ passed on your message ..so "G'day" back at ya.
Kacy, You are one of the people I miss(like) from the forum too... feel we shared quite a bit in common. Thanks Kacy, it's nice to hear someone actually liked some of my posts..or at least missed them <grin>.
