Dear Waves,

Your second post a few hours after the first sounds better --
you have a marvelous ability to recover (I'm not saying fully recover. I mean I guess that you sound closer to not being near a break down that you did in the earlier post and I am grateful to hear that.)

Also, progress had been made with the rain stopping and your checking the lab hours and getting the beaker, and the beer helping the back. . .
I hope that the other maladies abate.
