I'm back!

Survived chaos, heartbreak, the death of a friend, food poisoning, pneumonia, a business opportunity that wasn't profitable enough for me, an aborted business trip, canceled plans to travel to Vancouver, canceled plans to play in a Scrabble tournament at a grand cottage out of town with 30 others, and lost a bunch of money on the flight despite buying cancellation insurance (never book with "cheapoair.com"), etc., etc., etc.

The heartbreak was the really painful thing. I've know the guy i'll call "S" for six months. I've been attracted to him socially as he is extremely gregarious. I got to know him fairly well about a month ago. We flirted for two weeks. He invited me over to his apartment, where we would be alone together. But i forced his hand and he revealed that he had a girlfriend. Crash and burn.

Now i'm suffering from exhaustion and am under doctor's orders for complete rest. The pneumonia meds are miraculous, i feel so much better physically. But my sleep has been shot to sshhiitt for three months, and it's taken a toll. I have to relax, and recuperate, so writing on the forum again is a good option while i take my time in my physical recovery.

Nice to see everyone again and i will catch up on the thread later today.



Jane.
