Re: one flu over flori's cuckoo nest...a little set-back

flori, you are totally priceless!
You are so right that this crew just sucks it up and presses on day by day! It truly is a balancing act of which direction to press into each day!
Goofy and stressed and out of gas is so normal so often, I think we get to thinking it's what is!
Glad you called the docs and you're on the mend. Please take care. I like you being our energizer bunny!
