I don't envy you the cold, gini. Here are some kleenexes. Hope you feel better soon. Hopefully having your taxes done will help.

Only problem with bringing in sand - it NEVER all goes away. You can't sweep it up and you can't vacuum it up. But it will definitely find it's way into the bed - generally on the feet of those lovely four footed creatures where, of course, it doesn't bother them to sleep.

Another drink, please.
