I know what you mean about reading. I used to read 3-4 books a month. Now I only read for pleasure when I'm on a plane and my laptop battery has died.
That's exciting that S18 is starting college! Is he going to a large university or a smaller college?
That's great that you belong to a coop. I am a member of a CSA (community support agriculture) out here. It's great getting a box of vegetables each week and then deciding how you're going to use them.
I'll definitely spend some on landscaping - it's going to take awhile though. I'm still trying to beat back the ivy.
Thanks for the hug - wasn't that rough, really. I just didn't expect it to be so emotional. It's hard for me to understand what she's thinking right now - why she wants to rely on our friendship, misses our connection, appreciates my changes, but is deadset against putting any energy into M and sees a R as a trap that will only limit her. Oh well.
Good luck with all your work. Forgot to mention - your first line about getting H off phone. That sounded a little stressful - I hope all is well.
