Hi Kathy!! {{HUGS}} Barb is permanently on oxygen, 24/7. The kitties are fine and the bike is dusted off, tires are aired up, gas tank is full and the battery is fully (I have it hooked to a battery tender 24/7/365 ~ the battery never loses it charge and lasts for years.

As soon as I finish assembling the new exercise machine, I’ll be riding it. >:-}

Basically I polish transcripts (one of my freelance jobs). The biggest problem: lawyers aren’t verb-friendly. Love to ramble.

Gut Shabbes, gotta go.

Considering how the rest of the week has gone, today has gone quite well. All of us are tapped out and having trouble concentrating....the adrenalin seems to have worn off. LOL! I'm ready to go home.
