@secretwhitepop thank you so much for your post. It's the first time someone has accurately described that feeling...homesick, exactly.
Thank you for the link to the meditation. I also find the thunder and rain soundtracks very relaxing to fall asleep to.
My husband and I did such a fun thing yesterday called The Escape Room. It's an immersive mystery that requires finding clues to find the way out of a place. It was a good test for my brainpower and we did manage to solve the puzzle!
As far as I can tell, the discontinuation from effexor is going smoothly. But work, or as I should honestly call it, performance, is wearing on me. Not related to effexor. I rarely stay with one job even this long. I'm waiting to see what the universe brings me next before I burn the bridge with vipkid yet.
Also @@brightwings I've not been married 20 years, only coming up on 9 this fall. Although if you count the years together with past marriages it would be more than 20!
Secretwhitepop I'm glad things are going well with your mom. Thinking about you, and thanks again.
