Because I complained that there are too many Pitbull songs on the modern radio station in the VZ app and that his crap comes up every time I play it, one person decided I was rude and don't know anything about music. Before they blocked me, of course. This is exactly why I’m not very active in any of the groups I'm involved in. I'm never allowed a right to my own fucking opinion if others don't agree with it. 

Working my way through the 48-day challenge. Went through Vancouver, and then London, and now I'm in rural Australia. There are only two more rides in the challenge after this, and that's in Daytona and Ireland I think. They’ll be kind of long, though, at about 62 miles each. 

The heating element on our hot water tank broke, but fortunately, it didn't cost much to fix and although the job was harder and took longer than expected, Tom did a great job on it. He said it took a lot out of him just getting up and down off the floor and that he needs to get in better shape before he gets a job. 

I have mixed emotions about him going back to work. I don't mind a little more alone time as long as I'm not feeling bad but it also sucks that his program didn’t work out (though no surprise) and we're no longer going to have the flexibility to do things any day as long as my schedule and energy levels are good for it. It's going to be harder to schedule appointments and trips to the beach and whatnot. There have been reports of algae blooming at some of the beaches and I don't know how safe it will be to swim regardless. At least we've got the pool to go to even if I may have to listen to unwanted music and planes and dodge through ants. 

It was great to be able to catch up on my sleep, even if that sleep wasn't of the greatest quality and I still woke up a million times along the way. I slept over 9 hours. Tom said Toni had her yard seeded. 

Had my 9^th session with Helen. As I told her, I don't want to rush things but I don't want there to be too many more sessions either, since we don't have a lot of extra money right now. So we're going to be beginning the EMDR therapy. We kind of started the preliminaries today.
