Ok. I talked to my sister the pharmacist and it’s apparantly NORMAL but I’m a little manic. Maybe a lot manic. I think I slept about 4 hours last night and I’m just completely full of what my grandmother would have called “spit and vinegar.” I’ve heard it called other things, [...]

Well you can see that I’ve made a little progress on fixing the mess I made of this. I’m still not sure what I did but I’ll be more diligent about seeing that I have a backup of whatever. Wayward Son was carrying on in a comment earlier about wanting [...]
