I'm sure it will be fine. Camping is relaxing and fun...once everything is packed, anyway. We're all good at Family Time.

But I could sure use some good thoughts or something sent my way.

Would it be possible to also carve out some quiet time for yourself whilst still on holiday?

I have no idea if they're popular in the US, but I loved them - had the whole set.

My professor finally uploaded grades and I am so relieved that I got my first A of the semester... everything else was B's, but still, I prefer A's over B's any day.

Art—is it possible that you are depressed? I know it is not as bad as it was years ago but it doesn’t have to be that bad to still be depression.

Yes. It is possible. Quite.

I play some puzzle type games on it, and read a lot of ebooks on it (kindle and nook apps) sometimes it randomly reboots itself while I'm reading, but it's quick. Hasn't ever frozen that I recall.

Do you mean like jigsaws? I love magic puzzles but it takes up too much memory on the ipad

Ugh! Coughing sucks after having surgery. Same with laughing.

I have a samsung notebook 9 which is a convertible computer tablet which I like as much as I like any windows machine (I despise windows - but the computer itself is fine)- I like the stylus very much.
I like this reviewer very much:

Quick, somebody tell me why it's bad to act out and angry text the therapist. I want to text her that our agreement is over and I am doing what I want!

...whoops, too late.

I am not having a good Amazon customer service experience at the moment...never got my gift card or return instructions for D's cracked Kindle Fire from Saturday, currently on a chat and keep getting transferred from rep to rep "Let me transfer you to our Kindle department" Then "let me transfer you to a Kindle specialist" and they all keep saying they reviewed conversation, then will say, "So you say your Kindle is cracked?" And contradicting what guy said Saturday, so we'll see...
