Hi everyone! I have so much news to relate.

First, I am so proud and happy to say that I am engaged!! My boyfriend proposed on our second night in Paris at the Eiffel Tower, nonetheless. So Tom Cruise, right? I'm now starting to plan the wedding which we have tentatively set for next October.

Second, I didn't have a single bad day or attack while in the UK! I was petrified about having one since I was going to be out of my comfort zone as far as supermarkets, brands of food, etc. Plus, we'd be eating out every meal and walking around all day. I was scared about having an attack at say, The Louvre or something. Well, I ate safe and ate lots and lots of yummy ethnic foods! Luckily in London and Paris, Mediterranean, Moroccan and Indian restaurants are everywhere. Pub grub usually offered a safe chicken burger or something. Paris was a wee bit harder. Those people definitely love their cheese and ham! However, I was always able to find something I could eat. I fell in love with eating again while I was there!

I also think that being on vacation and away from my job added to my success. I was not stressed. Which brings me to my last point. I got let go from my job AS I WAS WALKING OUT THE DOOR TO CATCH MY FLIGHT TO LONDON! My boss is a supreme ass! Plus, he let me go right before what I believed to be my paid vacation and since I didn't have any of my paid vacation stuff in writing, he could get away without paying me for it. So, I'm out looking for a job and broke after my trip. However, I know that this is a blessing and not so much one in disguise! I was miserable, overworked, over stressed and at the whim of a very moody often-jerk of a boss.

Oh and I am doing fantastically off the Effexor XR! Yay! All in all, I'm really happy despite the jobless thing

Hope everyone has been doing well! By the way, if anyone wants to look at my photos from my trip you can access them at the following link:
