Hi everyone. I am home!!!! I survived the weekend. It was not as bad as I expected it to be.

I didn't freak out or act out at all, I was fairly calm (for me LOL)

My sister -in -law was a beautiful and happy bride.

My husband is proud of the way I handled everything. I spent a lot of time in our room reading, but nobody commented or seemed to mind.

I found being around so many people daunting and a bit frightening, BUT I coped.

So I guess I am kind of proud of myself too.

Just very worried about one of my kittens, he seems ill. Will have to take him to the vet tomorrow.

Welcome home! You did very well and I'm proud of you! Your husband sounds like he supports you and that is great. You should be very proud of yourself. You did great! I'm sorry about your kitten. I hope it's not anything major. Good luck at the vet!

Thanks Joy!! My husband is supportive only up to a point, but I think he is getting better at it. Some days he is very negative. Must be hard living with me sometimes though LOL!

How was your weekend?

My weekend was uneventful. Just stayed home an relaxed mostly. Cleaned a little of the clutter in my flat and spent most of it online. I love the internet. I've met so many great people here and on my social networks. Was supposed to go to one of my sister's place last night, but it snowed up where she lives, so I'm glad I didn't go. I hate driving in it. All in all it was an okay weekend! Thanks for asking!

SNOW!!

I have only ever seen snow twice!

I have also found good, kind, supportive people on line. AND I don't need to leave the comfort and safety of my home to talk with them!

I plan on having a really quiet day tomorrow. Will only go out to the vet, to run quick errands and to pick up my son from school.

Think I will read a bit in the morning!
