@WildMermaid I reckon us nervous types could do with your optimism and positivity so much as I'm sure it would be better if we could get over the nerves :) x

@Berlinda I have the nerves too. *blush* Sometimes I get in such a blind panic about going OUT and socializing that i end up a shivery mess unable to leave the house or hotel. Mine stems mainly from being on wheels most of the time, as I get claustrophobic when i feel like i could get caught somewhere. At parties, comic shows, and events there are often lots of people standing around and they all hover a few feet up from me. lol. Standing i'm 5'7" and I feel tall as a bamboo tree, seated in my wheelchair i'm the height of a 5-6 year old. The difference is stunning and sometimes I'm shamed to say I just can't bridge that gap. Enthusiasm, optimism, positivity you betcha' i have that in spades! Confidence...well, it is on the list to work on. :hug:

getcha, and I'll bet those inches do make a huge difference even though they oughtn't - but hey, none of our issues ought to be a problem heh?
:hug:

Was just thinking and I am sorry for my comment, being I don't know? near 2 foot shorter in your chair must be very different to most's experience that aren't in a chair - vulnerable feeling? And although I've sometimes felt there was some kind of victim or vulnerable sign over my head, maybe not always so immediately visable....

Although to some drunk young men, being an overweight female often seems a very immediately visible thing whereby they feel entitled to be extroadinarily ****ish xxx

Total aside here, but geocaching with my teenage son has been an important motivator for me and my relationship with him. Happy to hear someone else here is involved.

:hug:s for all! Also, nothing at all be sorry about dear @Berlinda I like reading your posts! :) Geocahing seems like a wonderful thing, I've been interested for years- but until I get that all terrain chair I'll just watch. ;)

Today is the day!! Managed to get more sleep than I thought I would so that's a bonus :)
Not feeling too nervous at the moment, hopefully I can stay this way.
Being picked up in 3 hours!
