Glad things are going more smoothly for your D. How nice -- kittens are the cutest! Sounds like a happy, if hectic, time for you.
Thinking of you as I begin an exercise plan. Need a goal like your Mt. McKinley one. Hmm... I'd be satisfied to ride my bike to the store and back, but that's not very exotic...
Thinking of you, sending some SF fog -- also 3 woofs at the kitties.
