i am in your same boat - floating down stream. funny you say "depleted" - as usual, you've founmd the perfect word for me.
i got nothin either. h's dad moi sick- all of a sudden it seems it has become v bad indeed. i am glad to be healthy and young and sane and alive. i wouldn't want to be staring down the barrel of my own mortality- it's tough. h ope i'm serene or at least "butch" when it's my turn. '
keep a good thought here- we maybe running on empty- but as you say WE'RE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR THIS TIME- and that is huge.
i'mgoing with it- will go visi8t baby now- and give him a thrill doing something dopey (no cartwheels).
