I was so happy to see this thread, but what a sad post to end on. Sounds like you've been spending quite a bit of time with your dad in the last few days which is nice. Hope the pain eases soon so you can enjoy the memories.

I've always marvelled at how Lenora manages to achieve so much, and that astonishment hasn't lessened with me going back to work, because I simply can't find the energy or enthusiasm to do anything much outside of work hours, and I only work during school hours! Adding even basic gardening chores to the list seems nearly impossible on top of everything else.

I can't quite imagine a whole infestation of black widows... spider and infestation are a bad enough combination without them being such big hairy and dangerous spiders!!

Would you believe I still owe Honey an email after over a week - how bad is that! To be fair I wrote a long one last weekend and then my computer died.

I mostly stopped beating myself up over what I don't get done, but it would be nice to have the time to get the enthusiasm to achieve things a bit more often.

Nice to check in with you ladies again...

Kerri.
