Thanks for your support on this majorly good thing in my life, @CheerBear. I'm likely to be fishing for congratulations all over the place in coming days as I'm very proud of myself and want to share that vanity with all! Most of all, and even if it's not forthcoming from others, I'm deeply, calmly at peace about something I haven't felt this way about for decades. It's a massive weight off my mind.
I have a feeling @eth and @Appleblossom might also be interested to read that long post I made to exoplanet this morning, as they have been with me a long time while I've been struggling with this major problem.
It is a good way to end the year!
Do you have any plans for today? Hope it's much better than yesterday. Will you be returning home soon?

Thanks again for indulging me with your good feelings about my good feelings (and actions), @CheerBear.
Wasn't aware your friend has some similar issues. I'm guessing it is the friend we often talk about. Wishing the best for them (whoever they might be), in the long run, even better if it turns out to be a shorter run.
Now all I need to do is tackle the tobacco (all I need to do, she says, when it seems like a huge mountain to climb, when unfit and panting just at the thought of it). As you can see, I'm not really ready to tackle that remaining issue quite yet. But it's on my mind (and in the mouths of my medical professionals), to do it, a lot.
Yes, getting to the beach yesterday was a moment of pride for me also (big on pride this morning, lol), as I haven't been for a month or more and really it would have been so easy just to continue obsessively working on my video. But, as could be totally predicted, it was a wonderful experience once I got out there. Walked about 2km up and back along the shoreline, bare feet in the foamy shallows, nothing like it for lifting the senses and grounding the mind.
Sounds like a couple of trips then with the relocation back home. Cricket and barbecue sounds okay for today (if you are into that). I truly hope unwell one is in a better state of being today, or sparing the rest of you from the grief of it if possible.
Today I will be back into the video making. I'm loving this main project so much just now, the soundtrack and words are really moving me as I'm working on it, both by other artists. My job is putting them together in the best way I can. I'll probably start with the image track today too, that is often the hardest part. Aside from that, I need to go to the chemist for a bumper load of prescription and non-prescription items. I've been joking with C that the chemist is where I spend all my money these days! But seems better than spending it all on pot.
Above all, I'll need some more sleep, and will get back to that very shortly. Maybe time for one more message between us if you'd like that though.

Ah, I see, unwell person is the one with the issues, as well as the illness, @CheerBear. I imagine that might have made growing up in your family difficult at times (perhaps an understatement). Here's hoping for a better mood, or at least better handling of it in themselves, for the rest of the time you are there.
Thanks for reading that message, CB. Glad I was able to finally share the success of my 'big self-care project' with you.
Nightie night now (in the day).
