@SMase01  see you soon!

@SMase01 I’m good thank you!

@islaholland that's awesome and you're welcome!

@islaholland Hey, yes, I am, thanks. How are you? :)

@InVivereVeritas Sure! Check out my brothers/sisters family readling list. I have a fairly wide variety there - mafia, non mafia, cowboys, found family, reunions. Is there a specific troppe you're looking for? 

@SMase01  I did but there are so many :) no, but something finished or with regular updates would be nice and 'realistic' if you know what I mean :) 
            And with heart warming moments! 

@InVivereVeritas Also, the late @SophiaAria has some excellent stories! Her last two Broken and Their Hidden Treasure are marked as ongoing, and while I'm not sure if she planned to continue them or not, they end with closure. She passed away in late 2023/early 2024. The rest of her stories are completed.

@IslaOfSkye :) 

@IslaOfSkye  you're welcome! I'm looking forward to reading it

@SMase01 wow, thanks. I'll have a think about that :)

@SMase01 you're a lot stronger than me. I've debated doing this a few times,  but can't bring myself to cut it off

@ALion-esqueBookworm if you feel like you need to take a break - do it, whether it's a day, a weekend, a week, a month, Lent, take it. :)  It may help if you start small. 
            I've taken breaks up to a week - week and half to two, but I've started off small. This will be my longest break to date.  
            Or if it helps you try setting a time limit whether by minutes=hours a day or stories.  :) 
            

@ObviousDistracted much better thanks! We had another round of snow on Friday, but thankfully it was just snow and the ice the first round was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

@SMase01  glad to hear that!!!

@SMase01 is it better now?

@islaholland Thank you and to you! 

@ObviousDistracted good, I'm glad! I was lying down but didn't fall asleep until after midnight. Neighbors had been shooting off fireworks pretty much all evening until around 10, 10:30 and just when I thought they were finished they would start up again - I'm glad they enjoyed celebrating and didn't shoot them off consistently too late (like 1AM or later) :) But I fully expected them to go off again around midnight, but they didn't so I fell asleep shortly after. I had to be at work that morning and would be up before dawn so I'm glad they stopped at a good time. 

@SMase01 as well :) my husband was asleep during new year, but the kids were awake ;)

@ SMase01  doing well too :) how had been your holidays? Happy new year!
