While it would be better for me if you were at a 10 since you deserve it given how selflessly you tire to support people on this forum while dealing with your own issues, I'm at least delighted that your 5 is an improvement from days ago where you felt worse. That's great!


There's nothing a good book and a pot of tea can't cure.

Thanks salad. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of that noggin of yours!

You sound like you belong in Victorian England with your proclivities, mannerisms and tastes. A pot of tea, a good book which I presume is a Bronte novel, and even your artwork just smacks anachronistically of a Victorian woman grafted onto our degenerate 21st century society, almost like you're a time traveler.

Personally I love it. Modern society seems not my taste and i appreciate those who like me also have a thing for the past.

I know I need rest but I just cant seem to rest. My fiancee is fast asleep but I cant bring myself to sleep. My head is racing with all types of worries and anxiety after the events of this week. Right now while my fiancee convalesces in her sleep im just going to keep my mind distracted from the racing thoughts by hanging out here until she wakes up

Ha! You're funny! I made myself a very structured reading list for 2021 with 18th to 21st century books, only three of which are Brontë scholarship. I'm forcing myself to read other things for a change, so I'm currently headfirst into Hester, by Margaret Oliphant. I absolutely love it.

Here's my list for the year in case you're interested. I started at New Year and I'm kind of slowed down because I lost my good glasses in April. I can't get a new pair until September.

Richardson, Samuel – Pamela, Or Virtue Rewarded **

19th Century:

Collins, Wilkie – Armadale
Flaubert, Gustave – Madame Bovary **
Hogg, James – The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner **
James, Henry – The Portrait of a Lady
Gaskell, Elizabeth – Cranford
Wilde, Oscar – The Picture of Dorian Gray **
Oliphant, Margaret – The Library Window **
Oliphant, Margaret – Hester ---> currently reading and totally in love with it :heart:

20th Century:

Dreiser, Theodore – Sister Carrie **
Woolf, Virginia – The Waves **

21st Century:
Haddon, Mark – The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time **

Le Fanu, J Sheridan – In A Glass Darkly **
Le Fanu, J Sheridan – Green Tea and Other Weird Stories
Brothers Grimm – Selected Tales
De Quincey, Thomas – Confessions of an English Opium Eater and Other Stories

Brontë Theory and Criticism:

Alexander, Christine, editor -- The Art of The Brontës (1995)

0. I Got to talk to one of my friends on the phone Friday morning and was able to talk to him for quite a while. I’ve been trying my hardest not to burden them with my problems but being at the house alone is so painful. Next Saturday me my son and my sons dad are supposed to be taking a Vacation to gulf shores. I’m sad that as early as January I would have called my sons dad as my husband but he has hurt me so much emotionally I don’t really think I can even call him my friend anymore. I’m just so done with this reality I’m in currently. It feels so fake. Like my husband was replaced with a man with his voice and looks and memories but not his personality. I know it’s real, but it’s so terrifying how quickly he changed. I’m just trying to look forward to this trip. After the trip, I’m going to start looking after myself more. Because he doesn’t care about me or my well being anymore despite him saying he cares. It feels like a nightmare.

I thought doing bodyweight squats was something I could do after my knee injury

Big mistake

I went too low, popped my knee, and now I'm in hellish pain.

I would definitely post a formal complaint against this particular establishment. If they don’t know what items contain gluten or not they need to actually keep stuff listed for the staff to get better trained.

Today is a wonderful day. I finished my 1st book cover to cover in over a year, a feat that was deemed medically impossible because of bad head injuries that affected my brain's ability to read, yet I proved to myself and the world that limits only exist if you allow them to
