Ten minutes then I am asleep.
Back. Eight months away and I arrived braced for a judgement that has not come from a single person.
The shame about the gap was worse than any side effect I have had. Six people in circle said "yes, me, twice", and it went.
Second time and it is completely different. Slower, kinder, and I know what the third day feels like.
Skint but going.
