projects, you're welcome to come on over! I'm glad you found something to help

you.

Hi Joni!

welcome back

I know where you are coming from in your intro there.

While not the major breadwinner of the family, I did contribute over

1/2 of the income each month, and right now am grooming just a few

hours a day on thursdays and fridays, with occasional fill-in

technician stuff on other days...leaving me with a max of 20 or so

hours per week, as compared to at least 10 hours overtime every week.

We are definitly feeling the loss, altho I have been definitely

feeling better each day I am able to NOT have to push myself to the

limits physically.

I find keeping busy helps me also. Gardening, cleaning, ect. At least

most the time i dont hurt while i am doing it, even tho an hour or so

afterwards I start feeling the consequences

Welcome back to us!
