    Yeah, re-reading what I've written, I agree with both those comments 😥  If I had my own car, I'd pop in for half an hour ... what I might do tomorrow, in any case, is tell them I need a break - they know perfectly well that I have chronic fatigue, in the past they've made sure a spare bedroom is free for me to have a lie down.  Nothing's spare right now because of the Scottish lot having come down, so I'd go sit in my sister's car.   That would work!  Insert lots of swear words here 🙄  Bleep and bleep again.

    Sitting in sisters car rather than overwhelm.  Go for it - seems like a plan - I'm sure others can add to those phrases.

    Exactly, much as we love family, we do actually need to love (well care for) ourselves more.

    Thank you everyone!  The issue is kind of moot now :( I've been throwing up - don't know if its stress or a bug, though I'm guessing the former.  But in any case, sister's 48 hour ruling says no way, I'd forgotten that, was expecting to probably still go.  So it goes.  I'm going to need to take it slow today, but I'll just keep going here :(  SpaceX takes off at 1pm today our time, so I'll watch that.  Maybe look at Prolific.

    Sorry to hear you're not well KC. Not going is definitely the right decision for all involved. I was going to suggest this a while ago, before the decision was out of your hands, but didn't want to poke my nose in too far! Get well soon 🤒

    Never a problem, Squirrel - I still don't have a firm boundary on when it's appropriate to cancel something like this, partly because I'm such an anti-social git.  I suspect its why I got sick, I should have cancelled at the latest when I heard about the antibiotics, my sister rang especially to tell me, and offered to ring off and let me think about it, which I turned down, as I'd made the decision.  There's always something to learn!

    KC - I'm sooooo glad you are NOT going - from a health perspective.  Health always comes first, social niceties are a distant second!!! xxx
