Hey lc4,
Loving your news.
Pilates is great and I bet you can channel some of your frustration into extra effort in the muscle-building department. How great you're gonna look all toned and glowing!

The family times are best of all and I will be thinking of you all round that table.

BTW, my H just told me he got a call from a lawyer in Texas this morning who wanted to organise some call-answering services. Couldn't possibly be your H trying to cover his calls while he's away, could it????
Just kidding, but I did think of you when he mentioned it (I should explain that it was notable that the call came from Texas because we're on the other side of the world).

Anyway, after reading about the eerie similarities in people's experiences with their spouses on this site, nothing much in the way of coincidences would surprise me any more.

All best wishes, W.
