Glad to hear from the woman herself! I'm glad you're doing well. Oh, I hope the hat you were wearing isn't going out to pasture too - tempus_aeterna painstakingly washed it for you. It's a very pretty hat. :)

In my neck of the woods, things aren't all shiny. My roommate has a stomach bug that made her throw up and I did something that gave me muscle spasms in my neck (although a heated sockful of beans provides some relief). But it seems like everyone's getting better.
