Great to hear from you. I've been 'missing' on the boards for about a month, FIL's passing has deeply affected all around me (MIL is right next door). DH is still in a daze. I think I'm the one living closest to 'normal' right now.
This past week I've cleaned out and organized the walk-in pantry, the "Tupperware" drawer, updated pantry inventory, been canning like a madwoman, and dehydrating, taking scissors to the fat horned tobacco caterpillars (nasty business, cutting them in half), bought two insulated lunchbags and proper toteable containers for DH who said it might be cheaper to bring lunch instead of buy it (HELLO . . . ), worked for a florist on vacation two days (ahh, I missed this!), got in a little geocaching and kayak time with my stepmom, as well as work on preparedness stuff (72 hour kits need replacing), trying not to bother myself with thoughts of work.
It's really great hearing from you, I look forward to sharing accomplishments and cheerleading, as required.
