I forgot to answer your question about “getting away”. As a child in an unhappy relatively poor family with no TV, my escape was books. From grade 6 to 12 I read about 300 books a year. Then I was called a teachers pet, and had few friends, but I had my books. In college I discovered boys and they discovered me, so I did not read much. After marriage and a build up of stresses, I began reading a lot more again. Even today, if I really want to escape and don’t have a chance to do an emotional session, I will read a real page turner all night, maybe get an hour of sleep, and then the next night I will really get a good night’s sleep.

Thanks for answering in detail. Don’t stop eating all the blueberries. They’re supposed to be good for you. :)
