Thanks again for the supportive messages. I'm beginning to show signs of recovery from the excess of stress that's been my life in recent weeks. I seem to have passed out of the phase of frequent crying at any and all hours of day and night.

Being home for more than a day or two means that my friends can easily find me, so I'm starting to get the support I should've been seeking when this tribulation began. It's lightening my very supportive husband's load now that I'm reaching out to more people.

Suddenly I'm thinking about oven-baked spaghetti for dinner, and that's a good sign, when my rumbling tummy comes first!
