I had a couple of yea...First, sorry about your dad. I had a couple of years at the end of my dad's life (cancer got him too) where care for him kinda became the most important thing in my life -- despite a husband, 2 kids, and a job -- but I hope you're feeling as I do now: all the effort was worth it b/c he got to leave this plane of existence knowing his daughter cared deeply for him.<br /><br />Second, hear, hear for pulling up bootstraps! Sometimes that's just what's called for. <br /><br />Third, don't you just love Bad Astronomer?

I'm just outside Washington, DC, and the temperature is dropped fast -- we're looking at possibly 7 degrees tonight, but my sister, who lives in far, far western Maryland, is facing -20 tonight so 7 sounds positively balmy. Since you're near the ocean you might escape the below-zero temps.<br /><br />Happy New Year!Pam J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03397439327477925210noreply@blogger.com
