Hello

I have been sick. Bad cold struggling to stop it from becoming strep or an ear infection. One kid on antibiotics for pneumonia and another who probably should be. And great strides being made in the basement reno.
On top of it all a close friend died this week - that put me over the top. Not just peacefully passed away in his sleep, but his wife called 911, did CPR on him and he died in Emerg at my hospital while I was there, just 2 floors away. My mom couldn't get ahold of me. I was in the building but totally oblivious until an hour after the fact. That is the part that really gets me.
Run down and then grief.
I am getting myself together, really I am.
I hope.
