Congrats on the Miner and LIIT!
Good to hear Canoes eyes being better, I hope it's totally healed by now?
And it's a good thing your husband was allowed to take the car of his mom, it sounds like it's a big step for her. Maybe in time she'll allow him to take her also. It's always hard when people are unable to bare losing their independence.. they hold on to everything.

AM- had one square too many of dark chocolate, yesterday. As a result, I was super tired, yet, able to calm myself, focus, and fall asleep. But, then my mind was super busy, and I was easily awakened. By my doggo. By my husb thrashing around. By my own dreams.
