Hey LFA-

First, compliments on your great advice to c1285. See how much you have learned and grown thru this process? You are wiser than you give yourself credit for.

Do I understand that H backed down on separating the dogs? GOOD! Sorry you had to go through all that anxiety first. Yeah, been there--freaking out for days, composing the perfect email reply--and then--just resolved without all the drama I envisioned.

You will feel so much better when all the paperwork is done. What an emotional/time drain that must be.

I have one little check for $70.00 from the bank--closing out the mortgage---that has to be "signed by both parties". So how much time have I spent wondering if it is a) worth it to contact X just to get $35.00? b) best way to send the check and the explanatory note? c) just say "the heck with it?

YOU guess how much time/emotional energy! So, I can't even imagine what strength you have to gather and expend every day just to deal with the details and paperwork. BLEH is right.

I should really download HH to listen to the in car--imagine, the other day I was without my crying towel in the car, and I needed it! If I had been listening to the HH, I would never have forgotten my towel.

OK--so be gentle with yourself, but make those weekend plans. Just like brushing your teeth--it has to be done. Lists work for me.

Ooops--and here I am posting when I should be "working."

I look forward to reading about your weekend GAL!
