So sorry for the misbehaving days you're having! Sure hope they get better. This morning DH had wisdom tooth extracted so I was there to bring him home. Went for his prescription where our HMO pharmacy isn't much different from before it was bought out, but a little less efficient and over 30...

Sorry to be MIA for two days. Friday with my sister and yesterday all day at the historical society. Then I get behind in everything else and my mind shuts down when I get here. Sunny today, football on TV. Have to get cards and gifts ready to mail tomorrow. Sad that I dread wrapping which I...
