Hey Karen,

You weren't on the board in 2001 (a Space Oddessy) when Chuck first left. I thought he'd come back and I wanted to surprise him so I hired a Clutter consultant and had 2 women work for a couple of weeks - decluttering and organizing every room and closet in our house! Now, in the smaller house - boy does it need it again and I never seem to get around to it. So - I would LOVE to call her again. My clutter fairy. We have stayed in touch!

Ry was vomitting all night. and heaving. And some of it included a fair amount of blood. how charming, right? and he was breathing really fast and short. Scary stuff. I think I'll be sleeping in his room for a while yet.

Then I woke up when I heard gurgling and watched coffee running down the wall. The coffee maker (right above in the kitchen) and on a timer had gone off and leaked. All over the counter and through the floor and down Ryan's walls! Oh what a lovely way to wake up and smell the coffee!

Chuck can figure out what to do next. I have no energy left for him. But I left the door open for him to visit if he chooses to ask for it.
