Should probably start thinking about bed but mind is racing. Why can't life be content with giving me one obstacle at a time, does it have to be a dozen?

is getting back on track. Hope to actually spend some time around here. Missed you lot. xx

Hi Abs.

Saw your comment on my status. You can always email me if you like chick I'm usually about somewhere, I just go through phases of not posting.

Hope you're doing ok lovely xxx

Have shampooed 2/3 of the carpet...and run out of shampoo. And if I buy more, I will have half a bottle which I'll never use. Why oh why???

I've only just started to be honest. Didn't even finish Preludes before I decided I had to buy this stuff!

I'm also partway through 1602, which is getting a bit weird for me as I'm not a Superhero person, but we'll see

One of 4 special SM editions. The different collections are again collected but over 4 books, all of which are hardback in beautiful slipcases. Lush.

Hi SM. Just wanted to mention that after picking up Preludes and Nocturnes in the library, I investigated Amazon and got hold of a copy of Absolute V1. Let the journey commence

Lunch break from cleaning. I'm shattered!

Well thank you for the compliments, and for those on the thread. But really they are unjust. I just put into words what I see. An artist's hand, or his paint, or his paintbrush might be nothing special, it is the subject matter that makes his work a work of art.

I'm doing pretty well for me right now. I've still got a lot going on but I'm finding the coping part easier so that's something.

And I think we've gotten to the point where you can call me by my given name, and not some nick I dreamed up! Call me Stevie

Sorry I didn't reply sooner! I'm sorry to hear you're still finding things so tough. And you've not been rubbishy at all. Lots of telepathic hugs coming your way over the thought-waves. xxxx

Hey Chick. Just wanted to say sorry I didn't reply sooner! And you should know that you don't give the impression of someone who is always on a downer. You struggle sometimes and you're going through a rough time. You're entitled to that! But you can and will beat this. xxx

You've said a lot of interesting things. Look at all the replies you're getting! And, with a quick glance to the right, you're already making friends. Those are good signs, no?

Paranoia I understand by the way. It's part of my own anxiety disorder. So big hugs of empathy on that count.

Miss you my friend. Hope you're hanging on in there. xxxx

We try to be!

Glad you're having fun.

It might look like I'm stalking you by the way, I've been posting on all your threads.

I assure you that you're safe. You just seem to say a lot of things that interest me and I have to respond!

Hey Abby.

Hope you're doing ok. I'm sorry I missed your post in Debate the other day. Wish I'd been more switched on so I could have replied sooner, but better late than never I guess, and reply is there waiting for you now. Big hugs.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you're settling in ok.

Your poem is beautiful by the way.

Hope to see you around here a lot!

Happy Birthday Abby!

Well such a promise is unneccessary. Simpling knowing that you know that I'm here, and that my ears are always available is enough.

Much love.xxxx

I'm still doing ok chick - thanks for asking. Just keep hanging in there and don't let the idiots get the better of you. You're worth so much more than that. xx

Most areas in my life seem to be occuring without event this week, and that is something I am grateful for. However, there is one thing which is taking up a lot of my thinking time and that is how, if at all, I might be able to help a dear friend through her difficulties right now.

I am constantly reassuring her of my presence, and that I am here if she needs to talk, or even if she needs to not talk. Perhaps it is something to do with the innate connection our writer-type souls seem to have, but I feel the need to reach out to her and make things better. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start. And anything I do do, seems not to do enough.

You know her quite well actually - perhaps you can offer me some advice. Her name is Giulia...

My condolences for your loss.xx

Big hugs chick. Forget those losers. xx

Now I feel bad. I didn't check the birthdays bit. Happy birthday!!! I hope you had a lovely day. It'll do you good to be around your family for a few days. And I'm glad you're doing a little better. Thank you for your thoughts.

Much love.xxxx

Ah well, that is the upside to internet anonimity. One can shut the world out and be alone without being utterly lonely at the same time!

Humour in any situation is a good thing.

I have to sleep as I have to work on Sunday unlike some...

But will talk more soon. xxxx

Thanking you then, for your support and friendship - both of which are available by return should you ever need.

Hope you're feeling a bit better than you were earlier. I know how it can be.

I was torn over my reply to you earlier, as part of me wants to chuckle in empathy, and the other part feels guilty that I can find the humour in the circumstances of either my elders or yours!
