What I would change: I would have asked about a slower schedule on day one.

OssianTromsø, NO

Started, stopped, started again. That is my whole beginning and it is fine.

Started this week and I have not told my mother and I do not think I will.

I would tell them to find one person to tell. Just one.

Beginning again, third time, and I have stopped counting it as a failure.
