I've been totally freaked out all day. I solved the burglar alarm situation but got a dozen useless travel insurance quotes because my stay will be longer than the standard allowance for my age group!

Lol now my house sitter e-mailed to say her situation has changed, but she did that carefully so it was a plus. Someone is coming to help me sort out a specification for the self-injured workman, another huge plus.

The problem is my self. I was so freaked that I got under the duvet and simply tried to send myself "love" feelings. Then I slept for a couple of hours and woke up feeling slightly more functional.

I don't get this, and I'm worried about being in this state while travelling precisely because I don't get it. I need to practice this sending "love" feelings to myself because it's the only thing that calms me down.

Thank you both very much!
