I've been fortunate enough to meet 5-6 TE members and, like Crankin, they all were like what I thought they would be. The active members of this forum tend to be very active, so our personalities can't help but to come through in our posts in one way or another. We do miss that added dimension of immediate interaction, but enough shines through to give an idea of personality.

I am really stressed right now. My boss called me "testy" yesterday, and he is right - I need to stop that. My apartment is reaching the edge of organized chaos and threatens to cross over into just plain chaos. Piles of boxes are building in preparation for me to start packing next weekend (I move at the end of Sept.) Due to certain...constraints because of my upcoming move and needing to save for an expensive trip home to see my mom I am "stuck" at home when I am not at work or gym. Too much time playing Candy Crush on FB and reading science fiction I am far more an introvert than extrovert - so the very fact that staying at home becomes stressful points to my stress level. Possibly depressed - the only place I feel like myself is when I am doing my crazy workouts at the gym and when riding my bike (more rare than I would like). I feel very isolated, but I know all of this is related to my mom's situation and some intense work stress. Depressed, stress, or both, this seems situational and it will eventually pass.
