    We're here for you mimi ---even if virtually.

    I still think of that pie Don made for all of us for supper at your home after we arrived from Vancouver.

    Dear Powers that Be,
    Would you please send someone to buy my house? Finding out my renter is moving out the end of December and knowing that I'm going to have to pay mortgage and rent is not exactly the way to feel holiday cheer.

    I got out of a stressful situation that was affecting my health by leaving the city and moving here, but I really want to be able to make the final break. But I can't until that house has a buyer. heavy sigh.

    And if I now have the opportunity to pay rent and mortgage, why torture me by sending loads of catalogues full of stuff that I'd like to have? Bah, Hum Bug!

    Yeah--it comes and goes. I think I slept funny last night, and on top of that, I've spent the past two days cleaning the lab, so there's a lot of bending and stretching to put things away. Actually, the worst thing isn't so much that one muscle, it's everything else that's trying to compensate for it.

    My friend who's been in the hospital for months in need of a new heart, whom I've posted in this thread about a few times, passed away this morning. I'm so thankful that I got to see him this past weekend and that he was still cracking jokes. He led a very full life, but that doesn't make it any easier that it was cut -so- short.

    I'm pulling hard for all of you and your loved ones who are fighting health battles.

    So sorry to hear about your friend. I too lost someone awaiting a heart transplant. It's rough

    Oh, Badgercat. I am so sorry. That's tragic.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
