I see my tdoc today and pdoc tomorrow.

Hubby finally finished a project that he's been working on for years. There is only one last thing to see before it's 100% final. That is one of those things where you don't know if there will be surprise issues until you literally have the finished product in your hand to examine. If the finished physical product is perfect (or near perfect), then it is 100% over. I told my husband to then do the distribution and literally and figuratively put the sucker on a shelf and forget about it for a while, letting it collect figurative dust. Maybe not real dust. We like our house dusted

Add on: I just signed up for a Meetup this Saturday. It is one I attended once a long while back.

I'm dragging a small boulder with a chain. I will not add anything additional beyond the one Meetup event and the French class, for a while.
I truly admire your insights and your ability to manage yourself so well. In a different thread, over the past couple of days, I saw your list of coping skills. I am very impressed!

I do hope you will be feeling better soon!
