Ooohhh.... (((helia)))... yes... senior-itis. Remember my theory: We get to be pregnant 9 months so we won't fear childbirth; we get to have a senior year so we won't fear the empty (or in your case, shrinking) nest. Your children always sound so wonderful -- and I am sure everyone who knows dd18 feels that way still -- except possibly you, at the moment. Perfectly normal. This too will pass. (((More hugs)))

And (((BIG HUGS))) for LO and Mr. & Mrs. OKay in the morning!!! Prayers for successful remedy to all troubles. Allergy/sinus troubles are no fun at all!!!

I know when y'all look at my duncle/dmom thread you'll think I'm just making excuses, too... * sigh * But I really do feel my hands are tied somewhat. She is perfectly capable of getting herself to her family doctor and the ob-gyn on her own; I offered to go to the ob-gyn with her and she said no, no need... and it is VERY difficult to talk to family doctor w/out an appt. When one HAS an appt, one is at his office for HOURS. The wait time is unreal. If he were not such a wonderful, kind, loving person, none of us would put up with it. But... I hate to go behind dmom's back, too.
Anyway -- she did sound good this morning... (or rather, around 1:00 pm) and dbro talked to her later in the afternoon and said she sounded normal, too.
Maybe we're just in the normal up-and-down of grief, and I shouldn't let duncle upset me so.

(((Lilac's dd2)))
We saw Single Mom's Club tonight -- new Tyler Perry movie. Made me VERY grateful I am not a single mom... it has to be so difficult to deal with ex's and new step-parents and all the hassles that are inevitable with divorce.

OH -- and you girls have led me astray!!!
I bought my first bag of Gimbell's Cherry candies today! Oh my... yes... they are sooo good.
Took dgs in to look at the baby chicks at T ractor S upply. (That was the excuse, anyway. )

I had no idea Purim required costumes. (((Twins)))for your dmom situation, too.

(((Harriet))) So glad you were able to check in with us!

And Elizabeth -- bed at 3:00 am, up at 3:00 pm... sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Elvis Standard Time. If only we had Elvis' money and staff to go with it. (My ddad would be sooo quick to assure me that this sort of daily routine contributed to Elvis' downfall, and will soon lead to ours, btw.) (Along with giving us wrinkles.)

Technically, it is Friday for me, but I wanted to duck in and say I have finished the crochet part of the charity crochet. I still have to weave in ends. I should probably check it for obvious cat hair woven in. One thing off my plate!
