In spite of your loss (of sanity…temporary, of course) I couldn’t help but chuckle when I read this. You have managed to take the most angst-inducing of all mundane (and what should be routine) experiences and allow us a bit or mirth. Not because you had to suffer, but because of the glorious way you put words together to describe every nuance of effort and collusion. I love reading your writing! Keep on keeping on…and I DO hope your monitor problems are a thing of the past by now! ALl the very best to you, Debra
