OMGosh, JT! When your title said you were looking for your pearls, all I could think of was the movie "Hook", and the scene where the guy keeps saying "where are my marbles? I can't find my marbles". Finally in the end, Peter Pan finds his marbles and brings them to him.
With all your recovery (it really does show
) I believe you will find your pearls before this is over. One must never give up hope! My recommendation is that you cry until you feel lots better. It really does help.
Hugs,
