    We have meds and she is improving. Thank goodness:j:T:beer:

    Mood much improved after time spent with my two best friends most of the day. No decluttering done as I'm having a day off from everything house-related. Back to it tomorrow though - before the tennis that is!

    Well done to everyone for their efforts and successes :dance:
