We have lots of members in Melbourne, @JaneinMelbourne - so when this Covid thing is more relaxed, you can meet up with them for a coffee & a chat if you like ......
That is terrific that you have a strong support team around you. It makes a LOT of difference. We all plan to 'power thru' but sometimes, we hit a little hurdle now & then - so just make sure that if you do become unusually stressed/upset - that you seek professional help to give you coping mechanisms .... it is totally normal to scream & shout & cry every now and then (even silently) - remember that you can vent here any time you like - cos we've 'been there, done that' and 'we get it'. xx

take care xx
