Lol ... Oh my goodness ... Not Christmas songs.. I'm not sure if they have any support groups, well I haven't heard of any. I've been trying to keep myself busy... I walked over 2 miles today & would have done more if it wasn't for the rain... I live close to Oak Park. Hopefully I can walk more tomorrow :)

I just saw the psychologist last week... It was okay except for the fact that he talked more than I did... I'm gonna cross my fingers for you . Hope you get your date ASAP ...

Thank you. I really hope I get it soon too.
