Sweey 49 Peg! I just turned 60-aauugh-but its the best birthday I've ever given to myself - bought myself a cocker spaniel - who is now the love of my life.

You made some great points in your note that gave me great pause. And, it is way easier to dwell on the down side and a lot harder to fight those fears away and just accept and plan forward.

But, fear in my book is a HUGE waste of time. Accomplishes nothing positive.
I just take each little set back and wonder how to keep moving forward while dragging the ball and chain. I love to be creative.

So, all of Dejibo's ideas were great and as for the drying off bit - here's what I love to do....I turn on my electric blanket and pull it over the towels I have laid out on my bed. Then, I shower, throw on my terry bath robe, run to bed, and fall out on towls and then pull warm sheet and blankets over me and then take a 30 min warm nappy. LIke a little cocoon.

Have a great birthday and, by the way, my brand new grandson was born this afternoon...so I'll always remember you also on this special day in my life.
