Thanks, Croissant, for that thought provoking post.
Oh, Snoozy, I'm so sorry to hear about Shaun. I hope he's on the mend.
Glad you're coping. You're right, any unexpected adversity would have me heading to the liquor store before. Not now, just take a deep breath and find a solution, problem solve. Nice to see you Aussies use "torch". Larry would laugh when I used this word, they use flashlight here. He imagined some medieval tool with a huge flame coming out of it. Shaun doesn't want that near his eye!
Hope all goes well on Thursday.
Trekking to TO to see my psychiatrist today, rush hour driving...grrrrr!
