Pleased to meet you, Geek. Yes, you're right, I do feel stronger having gotten through the big test. Last year's holiday season did me in & I didn't even see it coming. I was almost expecting a repeat.
Nikky, I'm holding up much better than I ever thought. The day's not over yet, but I'm not around alot of people tonight, so it's easier. Just me, husband & dogs.
The rest of you saying you're proud of me just makes me so happy. That's what I wanted, to make you proud, & to show you that all the things you've said on here to help me were carried in my heart. Knowing everyone was pulling for me gave me courage and determination I would never have had on my own.
