Thanks @avant-garde yep! Different stories, but similar themes
@Glisten Distraction from pain has probably been part of my coping style all along.
I have never pushed for more than the most basic of testing. I will mention it next time I see Gp.
I take vitamin d alternative days…atm.. also get outside to let the sun do its part
I take a mild level of supplements … didn’t want to get too obsessed with them or medical testing

Yes they're definitely very healing. I have two beautiful cats who've been there for no one else was able to be there for me because of their own issues, or they were simply too frightened and focused on their own fear.

hope you're feeling a lil better, i know that chronic pain is a hard one to tackle. hope you're getting plenty of rest @Appleblossom
hmm a bit disappointing about those men hey... are these men candidates for leadership or already leaders?
glad the choir is going well! how long have you been singing, playing the organ and recorder for? i used to sing for a choir back in school, brings back good memories.

that's really cool that you've been into music since a young age. would've been a great place of escape as well as expression @Appleblossom
interesting coincidence! but i'm not surprise, you have such a lovely soul. you deserve someone as lovely to match up to you. hopefully others who align better with your views/values though. are you considering giving either of the men a chance?

Thank you. I did consider but it was not going to work. Guessing it is history now. @rav3n Flattering for a moment, but once bit twice shy. I barely escaped my marriage alive. Needed to do a lot of work understanding the complexities of my family life.

@Abner ah! You have 2 cats too.
I love their interactions and they keep each other company. My girls relax and get really lively, bouncing around and racing down our hall. Lol
Yes animals can fill a void when humans are not up to it
I missed your reply at first as there was no tag. Hope the Gershwin is going well.
