    I am sooooo happy for you and Don. Did you get a chance to redecorate the house while he was gone? (just kidding - I know you've been swamped all this time Here's to a speedy recovery!

    Withm,
    I did rearrange furniture in the living room at D's request! and even more amazing, a coworker paid her cleaning lady to clean MY house last week so it's much cleaner than it is normally.
    We're going to start out without a hospital bed. (eek) hope we don't need it.

    LOL - I am always reminded of the story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears as told by Cheech & Chong (or was it the Firesign Theater?) - the little ones went out to play, and when they came home found out that their parents had moved out. Without telling/taking the little ones! So far removed from the story it now sounds barbaric, but it seemed pretty funny at the time. Then again mind altered perceptions were easily amused 40 years ago.

    Anyway I hope that all continues to go well, and that you and Donald will get lots of rest and recovery - I am sure you both need it.

    Dear Woman With Whom I Share a Public Bathroom:

    WTF? I know that you put several layers of toilet paper on the toilet seat before you use it and that it takes you a good 10 minutes to prep the toilet for use. I'm not sure why you don't use the handy dandy toilet seat covers from the dispenser on the the wall, but whatever. But why in God's name do you throw away half-used rolls of toilet paper, too? I just used the bathroom and there are two rolls with a considerable amount of TP still on them in the trash just from today. I'm guessing there's at least another one from this morning too. That's a whole lotta wasted toilet paper. I understand that you likely have some OCD thing going on--and I am sympathetic--but please get help. What you're doing is wasteful and, I assume, indicative of other OCD behaviors that are, at least to an outside observer, not particularly normal.
    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.

    Dear Powers That Be,

    Please don't take away my massage therapist right now. I don't know what happened, but please let her keep working.

    I read your mention of this with fascination sometime back and am astonished that it continues. Does management know? Do you have a clue as to whom it is???
