    Well, no :( in your shoes, I'd be, let me see, a lot more than downright peeved! The muscle relaxants must make you very drowsy :(

    They do Karmcat.
    Sometimes it is just so hard to get the balance:(

    It sounds like you’ve had a lovely day apart from feeling groggy after your snooze.

    Have you thought of sending letters or articles to a magazine - you have a way with words and they pay if they’re published...long shot I know but could be interesting...and entering as many free competitions as you can - someone has to win.

    The craft idea sounds good if you’re that way inclined....I wouldn’t have an idea how to sell them on line though.

    I think your writing is great! I always thought I might write in to magazines but the last time I did it they rang me and asked me all sorts of squirmy questions so I said no.

    Nice to read you had such a happy day yesterday.
    Singing with other people is so good for the soul :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    It was just so awesome .
    Especially as one of my most dear friends had written the song and was conducting.
    We dont live near each other so when we see eachother it is truely special.
    I am so very fortunate to have some amazing friends.
    When I am struggling I need to remember that.

    Taking of dear friends I visited another dear friend today.
    88 years young yesterday.

    Then I popped in to the cemetry to 'see' another friend taken so suddenly & way way too young.
    Always remembered in my heart.


    Seize the day.
