Relationships: How do you form and maintain them when ill?

Hi Judith,
Your meal sounds lovely. The other day, I was telling someone how I cook like that. I chop up everything, throw it all in one pot, and go and nap.
Don't worry about the spellings, as long as I understand what you are saying, we are good. Where I do not understand, I will ask for clarification.
The state of things in the US sounds very worrying. I did not know it was that bad. I will definitely look elsewhere. I had not considered Switzerland, but I will now.
The year 2026 was arrived at because my current grad school program ends next year, so I cannot move this year or next year. I will mostly be working on my research next year, I need to be here. I could start planning my move next year though, instead of deferring it to 2025, and move in 2025. I would have to look for a new job though. If I move in 2026 and I move for school, I get to 'keep' my job here for the duration of the PhD program. I would like to have my salary coming in when moving because I don't know what the situation would be with my meds and healthcare in a new country. I would then search for a job there.
You and your husband are sweet. I actually do write. I am in the process of writing 2 books, one is a poetry-adjacent book (both fiction and non-fiction, and the other is a diary of sorts.

Good afternoon in Zambia, Tabitha. Thank you for your response and I am so happy to see that you are writing books. I suspect that all of them will sell and if published in English I will buy them. The diary of sorts should be very popular as you are in the most unusual of circumstances both due to your nationality and your health issues. Your thoughts and practices regarding dating are spot on. Never let anyone pick you up at your home on a first date is rule number one.
With regard to the US there are of course small towns not fraught with racism such as those that may be found in Mississippi, South and North Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia - maybe, and of course those found in the cold weather states such as Montana, Wyoming, etc.. Here in the Sarasota/Bradenton area we are strangled with traffic, rudeness, corrupt local government regarding building permits. Seems as though everyone from the North want to live here because of the weather and taxes and it is out of control not to mention most of them are not neighborly. We are trying to leave but may not succeed.
I understand regarding your rersearch and need to stay where you are and hope that you can move forward with expediency respecting your need for income and health insurance issues. I will stop for now as I have a few household jobs to handle and must discuss with my husband some issues regarding moving. I will be back on line later.
Are you on Facebook? Do you you have that is Africa. It is a wonderful social site where one can speak their minds for the most part. If someone is way out of line the comment is censored as it should be. I am on there with a photo of me with my youngest pup Peyton. Many heartwarming stories can be found there...some are manufactured I am sure but interesting non the less. I hope you have that there. It is another way to communicate. It is not, however, a health site such as this.
I do not know what poetry-adjacent books means nor does my husband. ???
Enjoy your afternoon. It is 10:30 a.m. here. Judith
