Well, here I am again and still <pinching myself> in one piece, I guess. The funny thing is that suddenly I feel ever so much *lighter* mentally, emotionally, and thanks to a couple of pretty stressed-out days when I had no appetite (for me, something has to be VERY high on the Richter scale for [...]

Ain’t life grand? Just when you start to get comfortable and think you can relax a little is when the disaster strikes. Yup. I’ve noticed that about life, you know? And I haven’t been hit with a real good disaster for quite awhile, now. I guess it was overdue.

Drat! My flight was cancelled! Can you imagine? Well, we DID have some ugly weather up here in Massachusetts yesterday, of course.
