Glad to hear from you, Nilly and Shir. My thoughts are with you; I only wish it was for more general well-wishing and not the current situation.
I spent most of yesterday raking leaves and it brought home that I am OLD in a way that the recent visit to the cardiologist and assorted echocardiograms and EKGs hadn't. I did eventually manage to get my whole front yard to an acceptable level of lawn showing, but I can remember baleing hay as a kid and it doesn't seem like something as lightweight as leaves should wear me out as much as it did.
