No watching the news, no checking email, no deadlines, no phone calls. I got to sit and watch a thunderstorm, breathe salt air, eat fresh tomatoes from a garden. It was glorious!
I really needed that.
Fervent thanks to Boohunney and Ron, who held the ship upright until I got back.
And thanks for the donations. Thanks to all your generosity, I can breathe until that check finally comes in. How do people even survive these days?
