Thanks so much for your replies, good thoughts for me, and your prayers here!
Muchly appreciated.

I am so glad to know that you are now living in a warm flat, andromeda!
That is great good news.

Things have settled down here this weekend, alleluia!
The onerous ones have not been back to the little gallery next door, either yesterday or today.

I dealt with the HVAC guy, the Terminix Exterminators guy (who offered to use a wholly non-toxic to me roach/insect 'bait gun' in my townhome space, in lieu of the awful, toxic normal pesticide spray!
Yay! I never knew before that this was an option!

And I've since Friday had most of the weekend off from my personal chef responsibilities, to recoup from the highly-stressful week.
I made certain that I committed myself to nothing outside my home for the weekend; spent most of yesterday in my flannel nightgown, resting, epsom salts bath, and using heating pad on my strained back, took ibuprofen and aspirin. (I know, I know. I just don't have any Tylenol/acetaminophen in the house & can't afford it right now!)

I've largely just kept quiet, rested, declined invites ... alternately cleaning-up some here & there, and outdoors just a bit. I haven't been to one store, alleluia! Not even the grocery store. Yay.

So, just reporting in to say, "So far, so good".
Yet it really does require a mindfulness to take good preventative care, and to *not* "keep doing" because we "feel okay".

As I shared with someone else, if I "wait" until I feel "tired", or "fatigued", or "brain-fogged", then it is already "too late" and I am "done for" a long recoup, be it a couple days of being (of necessity/NO CHOICE) dysfunctional, or longer.

My great compassion to those of you here with job responsibilities and a family!

Best regards,

Theta
