Jmerrick,
So sorry to hear that you have so much going on. Somedays it seems as all that we are able to deal with is getting through that particular day. On days like these even the smallest steps have to be seen as victories. Try not to expect more of yourself than you are able to achieve on these days. Take care and keep posting!
