((Addy)), I am just checking back in, as I had much to attend to rather suddenly! Thanks for your inquiry! I Am doing okay! Yes, the 3rd-4th was a bit difficult.. more so this year for some reason. (Maybe because our plans were suddnely cancelled?) Yet, memories of my time with this special sibling are very precious, too! Thanks of your very kind words!

(((Blue)), I do understand! Glad you saw any note!
I hope you are starting to feel better..and the lab work is going better, too?
Maybe??? One can hope???

I swear, we are living in a tropical rain forest! It has rained for so long now! It is incredible! Anyone with chronic pain is ....hurting! (Yes, I am, too.)

Glad to be checking back in now...had a momentary sudden and important life "distraction!" I am back now though.. I think! I hope!!!
I love my NT family!
Leaving gentle, warm, comforting hugs for all.
