Hey y'all,
Thanks for the shout! I have been having a really fun-busy Fall (as opposed to hellish-busy

) Just recently took part in two local races for fun: a 5k and a 10K turkey trot on Thanksgiving! I have unearthed a competitive streak...better keep that under wraps...shhh.
Work is going very well. My adjustment is complete and, after four months now, the family has learned to pick up the mom-slack nicely. My husband cooks atleast twice a week and usually it isn't fat-laden and I love it. It's been wonderful to have something of my own, good for my brain, and also I love being with so many people all the time. My time with my girls is still great and I think we all treasure it more.
I've gone back to church. Long story, but it's been a very good thing for me.
Still maintaining at around 132, which seems to be what my body likes. And I am still running lots, though I can't bike much because it's getting too cold! But I run in the cold, and it doesn't bother me. In the turkey trot, I was the first over 30 woman to finish, and in the 5k recently, I beat my 14 yearold! Well, I did feel bad about that...a little.
Sorry I abandoned you all for a while! But I'm fine, and thank you for missing me

Lynne
