My extended foster family are really lovely people, mostly country folk, and they're incredibly kind to me, as they've known me so long. They known almost nothing about what's been going for me, so I try to be engaged as much as I can with them.

I think my drive there and back was more hellish. Whomping tree? That's an interesting one. I haven't seen much of Harry Potter, hence I've not heard of it.

Yes, my SI is less than this time last year, and nights and weekends are my worst. I worry with the SI though that it will pull me back down enough to do something, and if I miscalculate, or do things differently, I won't survive.

Good to hear you have an ok day with your mother and son. Those must be nice things to treasure. A chilled out night sounds lovely. Much the same here with the furry ones.
