Anne! Many happy returns of the day! I'm so glad you had a good trip. I hope you spring back from the exhaustion quickly.
Strength to your grandmother, askye, and a general cluesticking all about for everyone else.
What Ginger said.
I am VERY jealous of the SA having. I got a postcard from her today too! I can't wait to see her live and in person for myself. There will be a hugging, I can tell you. Much healthma to SA.
Timelies. I've been kind of missing. I've been reading, and ~ma-ing, but I haven't been able to find words. They ran away and left me.
The physical therapy has done WONDERS for me. I take back all the mean things I've thought about physical therapy. The pain I've been in since Aidan was born has been much ameliorated. It's not gone, but it's so much better than it was. I even went to sleep without a muscle relaxer a couple of nights ago. I'd go on, but suffice to say that my therapist likes carrots!
The biggest reason I've been missing is because I've been building a website for a client. I thought it would be ~20 pages -- it's turned into 60, pretty well paid pages. He even paid me for the time it took to learn to do some new stuff because I was learning it to do the work for him. I presented it today and he had only about 3 little fixes he wanted done. Also, in the middle of doing the work, he called me to say that he's raised my rates starting the 1st "because you do so much and we appreciate your work and I knew you wouldn't ask." I take back every mean thing I've thought about him (and there have been a few).
Deena! I'm so glad the physical therapy is helping. And yay for your client. Some clients are wonderful (most of the time). My main client tells me I'm not charging enough
Deena, great news all around! I'm doing a happy dance for you right now.
Hey Taunty Teppy! Pppppffffffttttttbbbbbbb.
Hi, SA!
Deena! yay on the well-paying pages! And the successful PT!

Yay, Deena! That makes me so happy. Also, well paid project and increased rate.
{{{Deena}}} Just 'cause. I miss you! But glad to hear you're doing well without us. I'm trying to be brave!
Hi all! I'm miserable and exhausted, but I'm very glad that the first thing I always see when I come home is Teppy.

Yay! I'm glad the postcard arrived.
I miss you too, Nora! I'm mostly done with the big project, just a few fixes, and then a couple of other projects that should be smaller, so hopefully I'm done with being absent for days on end. {{{Nora}}}
{{Allya'lls}}} thanks for the cheers! It's so nice to feel better and be productive.
eta: It did, SA, and it's very pretty. Someday I'm going to see that stuff in person.
Deena, that's wonderful. Bask in the reward of your GOOD WORK.
Thanks, Betsy. I went and looked at the link for the stuff you were trying to do today. I felt a great deal of sympathy for you.
I was complaining to my physical therapist that the easy-peasy Yoga for achy people DVD I have is too hard for me and she told me I wasn't ready for yoga, or tai chi (because I asked about that, too), and to just do the exercises she gives me. Even those are hard sometimes, and I feel stupid that they're hard -- chin tucks, for crying out loud!, they give me a headache!-- but she tells me it will get better, and I'm starting to believe her. I hope you find something soon that will make things better for you.
