Thanks (((Bettie))) and (((Liz))) for your posts. I was stressed out about going over and seeing Darcy as I didn’t know what to say to him. What do you say to someone whose daughter died tragically? I had a stomach ache yesterday and the evening before because it was stressing me out, so I thought I would summon courage and go over there. It was a bit awkward at first but then it got comfortable. I’m glad that’s over. Danny arrives home noonish tomorrow. He flies in tonight but I don’t want him driving home from Edmonton at night. He had an MRI for his MS and he has an appointment with the neurologist on Thursday, so we are going to Edmonton on Wednesday and staying overnight. We are going to go for supper with his brother and his wife, so that will be fun. A friend invited me to her retirement home in Costa Rica and I seriously thought of going, but have decided I am too scared to travel there by myself as I would have to take a 3 and a half hour bus ride through the mountains to get to her place, and sleep in a hotel the night I arrived. This is too stressful for me at this point in my life; I’m not as adventurous as I used to be. She has monkeys and sloths in the trees in her yard and I would have loved to see that. I know that I would get anxiety attacks once I booked that flight which would bring on gambling urges and I don’t need self-induced stress. Plus I would have to visit when Danny was on his week off, so that would mean I wouldn’t see him for 5 weeks, which doesn’t work for me. I miss him when he is away working. He works two weeks and is off for a week. Not going is the right decision for me. I let my friend know today that I wouldn’t be coming to visit. Carole
