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

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

Yes, I am on Facebook. Africa has all social media and has proper internet facilities. It is good for storing pictures and memories, and for keeping in tough and up to date with people you are not very close to.
I don't know how to explain poetry-adjacent, I can show you a few pieces off the top of my head. Then show you the ones I find to be spot on later.
7 hours ahead. I wonder if i would sleep better in a place that is & hours behind my time zone because I sleep very late.
I have found 4 pieces that are a good reflection of the book, not the diary of sorts. The Hela piece, for instance, is poetry adjacent.

Hi Judith,
How are you? And how is your husband?
The books will definitely be in English, it is my first language, and my most fluent one. My french can be serviceable at times, but is not sufficient for free expression. The diary of sorts is entitled "Diary of a Bedazzled Unicorn", because I am a bedazzled unicorn. From the paediatric lupus, surviving so long with it, having aggressive disease but still being alive, my fierce independence, my strong insistence on standing on my own two feet, graduating university when I was told I would fail to get my undergraduate degree, the way my mind works, how I see the world, the father who raised me, the losses I have known, the love I give, the love I have received, my unique voice. I could go on all night. The point is, there is nothing like me.
I am very protective of my home. Even the people I work with don't know my , only 3 know where it is. If I had a date, I would drive myself there. That also helps if I suddenly need or want to live.
The guys on the apps say they are sapiosexual, they go quest when I ask questions, simple questions, nothing along the lines of the unified field theory.
Thank you, I will look into those places when I sit down to plan.
Yes, I need to be here for now. Research wise, I need to be here, at least for the data collection. Sometimes, research assistants 'manufacture' data. I need to be very hands on. Then later, for the finances. I think with time, and extra planning, I can start getting my ducks in a row next year.
