Hi Cliffy,
Good to hear from you! Seems like you have reached a point where your W's roller-coaster has limited impact on you. Now that's detachment. Also glad to hear that the swim team is doing well. Must feel great to watch the kids as they progress, physically and self-confidence wise.

I am curious, what did you say to W when she said she was scared that you were going to leave for good? Why is she scared? Financially? Emotionally? Just afraid to move on?

Just curious!

RE: Energy level, two things:
1. I went to a nutritianist about 4 mo. ago. Even though I was eating healthily, I was not getting enough carbs and also lacking in omega fatty acids. Basically started taking fish oil supplements, doubling up on starches and drinking a beer with dinner ( \:\) ). This made a huge difference in my energy level and ability to keep weight on.

2. My neighbor also had sleep issues which were affecting his energy level. He went to a sleep clinic and they figured out that it was breathing related. He got some sort of a contraption to wear at night which made a big difference.
