Somehow, the thought of helping someone else out with their mess isn't so bad as trying to sort my own clutter. I think the reason for that is we get stuck in our own clutter, but when it's someone else's, you don't worry that it's some precious thing that Aunty Beryl gave you for your 11th birthday, you just go "yeah, looks broken to me" and chuck it out. Lovely to hear from you. I am promising myself a blog day today. LOL and there’s yet more work to do in that attic space.

Glad you felt good, especially about the cocoa :-) I do count my blessings. Beloved is a wonderful man and I am so lucky to have him sharing my life with me. And even though I find the kids aggravating from time to time – well, what mother doesn't (I think it's in the fine print there somewhere) but they are lovely people and again, so lucky. Beloved has 2 brothers and each brother has 2 sons. 3 out of 4 of those nephews has type 1 diabetes and the fourth, well, he marches to the tune of his own drum (probably a very high functioning Aspbergers). How lucky I am to have my wonderful family. And how lucky to have wonderful friends. Hey Annie. Glad you felt good, especially about the cocoa :-)

I haven't visited for a while. All that work in the attic makes me tired just thinking about it but I wondered if you'd like to come visit and help me tackle the Christmas decorations that block the door to the attic?

Having just drank mine today I am filled with sweetness - if only for a scant moment ;) Yes, who can forget those moments of utter despair brought on by a simple perfunctory act that we perform every day - getting dressed. Yikes, the discomfort was definitely palpable... But that DH is truly a gem. Believe me when I humbly remind you that you have what gals like me long for dear lady. A loving family of your very own ;) Bitter sweet I know at times - but still something that undoubtedly you cherish. Take care ms. feathers - good to see you back on your feet. xo Good to hear you have returned to your delightful self and you are making house :)
