Hello again!
> Hi Susan. I'm happy to hear from anybody - and interesting sounds like a high compliment. :)
<<Definitely a compliment! :-)>>I'm going to work on building a support network here, but I know it will take some time. I signed up for hand drumming lessons. I was going to sign up for more things, but then again I didn't want to leave my apartment until after 5 pm any day this weekend, so best to leave that for later.
<<That's great about signing up for lessons! I need to do something like that....> I wish I could afford a therapist but I have no benefits (yet). I've seen some before, and I've met some twits and a nice lady (unfortunately I won't be able to see nice lady anymore). But I have seen it written on this board before that it's good therapy, and it is.
<<You know, my ex-boyfriend was enrolled at the local community college and had access to a WONDERFUL (and free!) therapist there. I don't know where you are living, but it might be worth signing up for a class at a local school that has therapists on staff....Some classes around here are only $150, and that's pretty cheap to have a therapist for a whole semester. :-) Plus, you could learn something fun in the class, too, with any luck.> ps - I'm sorry you had a poor time in the Great White North. If you ever want to return there let me know. It's a beautiful country and I have criss-crossed it.
<<I can't say the part I saw was beautiful, at least not as far as land is concerned. I went to Montreal, which, architecturally, I thought was beautiful. I'd love to go back to other parts of Canada, too, just not alone this time. :-)Susan
P.S. What does your name mean or refer to? Haven't been able to figure it out.....
