Just to clue you lot in what's going on with me ....

1) Work, let us say, has its good and bad moments.  This past year  
has been a real struggle for me as we got a new director (Director,  
HR Information Mgr) who has a totally different management style from  
my old boss and shook up things very fast and thoroughly.  I must be  
doing something right, because I survived a layoff of over 700 people  
back in June.   We are being spun off from our corporation (Sara Lee)  
as of  Sept 5. we will be Hanesbrands Inc, This is truly an exciting  
time for us!

Personally speaking, this has meant a lot more work and a lot of late  
nights at the office and working from home. *sigh*

2) My cat, Lucy, gave me quite a scare two weeks ago.  When I came  
home late that night, she was only picking at her food.  By midday  
Sunday, she was not eating at all, and she wasn't even drinking  
water.  I called the vet first thing Monday morning and a friend  
helped me rush her there.  After a thorough exam and a x-ray, the vet  
told me that Lucy has impacted teeth which need to come out.  Problem  
was, she'd lost 3 lb and so we had to get her weight back up.  So  
she's been on an antibiotic and is eating her regular foods again.   
Which is great because I was getting awfully tired of feeding her   
baby food by hand!  She goes back for the surgery Sept. 12.

3) My BIL came up from Charlotte today and managed to adjust the  
Guardian wheelchair so it's a bit easier for me to use, but we agreed  
that I need another, lighter chair, so I will be calling up the  
suppliers and seeing if any will let me do "sit-ins."  Yay!

4) My niece is getting married in Tampa on Thanksgiving, so it looks  
as if I'll be headed your way, Beth!
