Whew... that was rough! I went shopping with my chain-smoking landlady, we sat and had a coffe after Walmart and before lunch, as is the norm, she smoked, I didn't. We had lunch and went grocery shopping, where I lingered in the ice cream section, looked the assortment of chocolate ice creams over lovingly and then carried on.

Got home, cleaned the apartment top to bottom and here I am. The day is half over, and if I go to bed early tonight it's even more than half over!

I think today's crisis has passed. Thanks everyone for your ongoing support. It means so much! Especially on days like this! I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

I'll check back on this thread one more time before I go to bed, so I can say that I honestly beat the demons back for the whole day! ;p

Thanks again, you are all 's
