Hey all,
If you haven't noticed I'm back from my vacation and busily doing my best to catch up on posts/replies as promised. My trip went well and I'm feeling refreshed. I'm going to do my best not to overdo it now that I'm back so I don't undo all the good I did getting away from things. :-p
I got about half of my "backlog" of forum posts knocked out today and all of my PMs from my inbox. My goal is to have the rest of the backlog of forum posts done by the end of Friday (can't promise by tomorrow because tomorrow is a doc appointment day ... whee!!) and then I'll start in on what accumulated whilst I was out of town, which fortunately doesn't look to be TOO much.
I hope you are all hanging in, or dare I say it? ... even doing WELL!!! I had a wonderful time seeing my immediate family as well as most of my cousins. I also celebrated my 1 billion seconds birthday this past Friday. (Yes, I'm a total math nerd, but it was a dear friend and larger math nerd than I that pointed the event out to me, haha.) So I'm now over 1 BILLION seconds old. It seems humbling that a billion is such a massive number that it would take all these years of my life, everything that I've ever been through since I started out on this planet, just to arrive at ONE measly billion SECONDS. For some reason, it helped to put the stress that I've been under in perspective. Like everything else that has ticked by in each of those unnumbered seconds, hackneyed as it may be, "this too shall pass."
Happy hump day, everyone!
