Thanks , I guess I really should look into stress reducing strategies . I will admit my attempts thus far have not been very solid . Stress is from far too many commitments . old and arising , plus I have been looking into relocating next year for a new job . On top of these I ' ve had to deal with sudden unexpected issues in the last month , such as a severe flood in our apartment . I think everything that happened within the last two months just pushed me over the edge . <| sep |> After 50 pidgeys and 30 rattata ' s I finally got one from a lure at Sherwood train station . CP 44 and terrible IV , but had a lucky egg so got a nice XP bump there . <| sep |> Yet France and Kebab always getting an alliance kinda puts a damper on that strat .
