I'm sure the lasagna will be yummy. You sound really good, Subguy, taking charge of your life and taking care of yourself. Challenges result in growth a lot of times (but not always, so it's good this challenge is bringing about some good things.)

If my H and I were not in the place we are now, I would've never taken a trip out to CA on my own. I feel independent and strong. I would've never joined the hiking group, or played in a tennis team, or hung out with friends. I had no life except for focusing on my M and work.

So as hard as this is, some good things have happened for me, and they are happening for you, too :-)
