I don't need any prayers, but I am praying for all our friends here who live in the Toronto area and who might be effected by the huge blast and evacuation. Hugs, thoughts and prayers to all of you and your families.

Thanks DC! Deanofwords, Chaplin, VinBlanche, MomBlanche, and myself are all fine.The blast was in the North/West quadrant of the city and we all live in the midtown/downtown area south of the blast. I'm worried though, because there are quite a few clubhouse folks from Toronto, like Jimmer and his family, and not knowing where they live, I can only hope that they are okay... sending prayers and hoping that people do take a moment and check in here to let us know they are safe and sound. So far, 12,000 people have been evacuated from that part of the city and temporarily resettled at York University.

I would appreciate any good vibes and prayers thrown my way. I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon with someone I've never personally met (someone referred by my brother) in an office building I've never been in. Sounds simple enough BUT, for as long as I can remember, I have a fear of going places I've never been and a fear of first time meetings. I know it's some type of phobia and sounds silly, but it's a real fear to me. Started getting those jittery feelings really bad yesterday and all day today. DH does not understand this unrational fear so I really do not get that type of support from him. I can understand he not understanding, but a bit of support (a dang hug) would be nice. Don't mean to sound like a whiner, but for any of you that suffer any type of phobia, I think you know how I feel. Any who, I spilled my beans hear because you guys are always so supportive. This meeting tomorrow is something most people would be excited about. Just wish I could get over this dang fear.

Oldtex I hate and get physically ill when having to go new places. People who know me laugh when I say I'm shy, cuz I'm not, after I get to know you. But until then...... My hubby says he understands, and I do get the hug, but I don't think he really gets it. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow afternoon! T

Serate, Pamy - thanks for the words of encouragement! Oh, btw, I did get a nice hug from hubby. He just didn't know what is was for. DH is so outgoing and most people really "take" to him. But, at home, with me, don't really know how to explain it. He's a great husband and friend, but just does not understand anyone having phobias. I will let you know how things go. Serate, you make me feel so not alone. Thank you! And Pamy, I think you make everyone feel better!

Oldtex~ I don't have the same phobias that you have, but I have a couple of my own that give me the same anxiety you are describing. It's hard to explain to someone who has not had the experience, but I really do know how uncomfortable it can be. I often find that the worry before is worse than the actual experience, but that doesn't make it easier. Sending positive thoughts that your meeting will go well. Keep us posted.

Oldtex, hope today's appointment comes fast for you so you don't sweat it out too long. Hope you really like the guy. And hope that because your bro recommended him that somehow you can feel that he's not a "total" stranger...

Thanks to each and everyone one of you. I left my update in my folder. I did just fine. Our minds are such odd little things that can really "mess" with you (or at least me anyway).
