[Guest guest]

Hiya hon, yes I am in one piece... Sorry to have worried you and

others.....

Mike keeps a close eye on me through the cell phones unless it's a

weekend. Wish I could get some sound sleep.

I am starting to feel better as far as this cold, flue, bronchitis,

pnuemonia is concerned (whatever you want to call it) But I know it

is still wearing me down.

Hope your having a good day and hopefully it's a pain free one for

you.

Take care hon and know I am always here for you. Did you get my email

with my phone numbers?

Hugs

Deanna
