kids, don't try this at home

So when Jeff sent me the picture above, I confess I wasn't exactly thrilled, especially since he said there was open water about 2 ft. in front of him. He reassured me, however, that his parents were in a motorboat with a rope in case he fell through the ice (yeah, that made me feel SO much better :)). Three hours later, the ice in this photo had all melted.

It has been a little tough, these last few days, but I'm still convinced that I made the right decision not to go to the cottage for ice out this year. I didn't want to go through another major setback like I did after my last weekend cottage visit, in terms of my arms improving, plus I wanted Jeff to have a break from having to look after me.

I still get frustrated sometimes with how long everything seems to take me because of my tendinitis. This includes getting dressed, undressed, eating meals, etc. My friends and family have been very patient. But as Jeff said recently, "It's not like I have a choice!" :-D Seriously, though, it has meant a lot to me.

Turns out that my weird Spam filtering problem was probably caused by ViaVoice somehow. Not exactly sure what happened, except that I know I began experimenting with using ViaVoice in helping me answer e-mail starting Sunday, and my mail problems also started Sunday. So I've changed my mail filters, and I'm keeping a closer eye on ViaVoice when I'm using Eudora. There are 483 e-mail messages in my inbox right now. Going through them slowly (lots of mouse clicks involved).

Ruth is coming over tonight to help me do laundry, and then we're going to Yonge Street and cruise for cute guys. OK, so maybe I'm lying about the cruising part. :-)

It was so great to hear from other fans of Fruits Basket, by the way!
