X-post: Update on my life

Thanks so much Kathy.  I really appreciate your well wishes.  We do feel very shell-shocked right now.  And, you guessed it right that I am "the strong one" who takes care of the rest of the family. 

Fortunately, my daughter does realize that I need someone to let me vent - and David is learning that also.   And yes, I do realize that I have a ton of folks on this site who are willing and able to give me a shoulder to lean on.  In fact, I think I knew that when I started typing yesterday. 

Nika actually said something like, "at first I didn't think it sounded like you on the radio, but then I heard you...."  I told her that I was using my "radio voice."  What can I say, it's a communication thing. :)

Again, thanks for being there for me and I will plan to be online more often.  And now that I said that, it is off to DC tomorrow morning and then moving as soon as I get back so I might be scarce for the next couple of weeks - again.

Take care.

I hope your trip to DC gives you a little reality reprive . We will certainly understand your absences & look forward to your updates . Good or not so good . Kathy

Dang Vicki. Sorry there are so many trials and challenges surrounding you right now.

Thanks so much.  We are hanging in there.  That's pretty much the best we can do right now.

Oh Vicki, I am so sorry to hear that everything is so rough for you and your family right now.  I will keep you all in my prayers (if you don't mind).  We just moved too and that's stressful enough.  Please make sure you take the time you need to take care of yourself.  Even mini "vacations" of an hour or two now and then might be good.  Just take a little block of time to do something you like to do.

Thanks Shelly.  I will work on the mini-vacations.  I can certainly use the relaxation!

Take care.
