First and foremost, my heart goes out to you all dealing with painful family things now. I wish you all peace.
Second, I have been staying off the boards a lot since we got back from vacation. I have not even really looked at my pictures. I am having a VERY severe post-vacation depression! I don't have a trip planned and that is not the norm and I think it is playing havoc with my mind.
I would
love to join you all on the cruise, but I don't think I can swing the cost of a single supplement and my kids can not get out of school and my DH will have used up his vacation time on dumb things like hunting by that time. So, I am feeling sorry for myself and I just can't muster enough happiness to relive the ABD trip. Yet. I know the time will come and it will be wonderful. But for now, I am trying to gather enough will just to come back to the boards and check stuff out.
I have been able to listen to the podcasts though. I am proud of myself!
And just to chime in on the CDs, I got nuthin'. But I got my ABD stuff later than most of you as well.
Take care!
