Hello! Welcome to my online journal! Go ahead and look around!
Good gravy, what happened? 
Well, for starters, Mom had a seizure in late August and our lives have been forever changed. She's okay, but still recovering. Then our lease expired in September and we downsized from a large 1200-1300 sq ft house with a 1/2 acre yard to a 725 sq ft 'cookie tin'. (AKA a mobile home) Everyone has been adapting well to the changes, even our pets.
The upside? We once again have DSL!
Yeesh, if I let this thing go for that long again, feel free to...I don't know. Kick me or something.
