It's as if you have been preparing for this in some way ... I think you are in the perfect position to handle this challenge, Shannon. You've been leading us all in the charge toward simplicity -- paring down, working with what you have ... if anyone can handle this kind of thing right now, it is you. I look forward to your continued gorgeousness over the coming weeks and months.

Best wishes to DH. Can be so hard on the psyche and ego to deal with this kind of news and change. I'll be thinking of you both.

Sorry to hear about Mr. S 's job hours. That really seems so unfair. As others have said, you do seem up for the challenge.
