Hi all,
Sooooooo, been the May to end them all, but at least things seem to be settling down now, though I hesitate to commit to that - Things have had a way of going pear-shaped on me the last while, so I don't want to tempt fate here. Mars was making its merry way transiting through my sun-sign, and let me tell you - I hate warlike males with renewed passion.
I still have no access at 'home' - I've decided to just stay out my remaining two months in a hostel dorm-room, and there isn't any internet access there. I do have limited access again at work though, after popular revolt by, of all people, management, convinced the IT powers-that-be that perhaps they were being a bit over-enthusiastic with the security and productivity measures.
But yeah, I am back, albeit in a limited way ...
It's good to be home.
~Simone.

Hi, Simone. It's so good to see any post from you again!! :icon_hug: :icon_hug:
Even if it's merely here and there, to have your heart and understanding and wisdom back is a wonderful gift this morning.
Welcome home, girl. Cuppa? :icon_caffine:

What Nichole is really saying Simone is she is tired of listening to my daily drama :)
Welcome back... we missed you.

Huzzah! Glad to see you posting again.
But, what does "going pear-shaped" mean?

Welcome kinda back,
I know in the US there is a lot of places(like half of the fast food places and libraries) to get free Internet have you tried any of those?

"Welcome home..."
Who'da thought an online community could be a home. Nevertheless, it is, and it is good to be back. Albeit part-time only.

There is a reason why you are labelled as 'Family', you know. :)
