And she adds this comment:

LOL! That’s actually a great reference to my week – I was stuck last week in what felt like five days of spam

Okay, here is a last minute addition that got caught in the otherwise wonderful Akismet spam filter:

From Karen McComas:

The week began at the end of a trip to Washington, DC, so I started tired and stressed and then things got worse. By Wednesday, I was in the middle of a major meltdown, a rare event for me these days, and careened through the rest of the week trying to regain my balance. When I interviewed for my doctoral program, one of the major sources of my stress, one of my professors asked me if I was prepared to make sacrifices. I was, I confidently told him. I just didn’t know that I would sacrifice my dignity with a semi-public meltdown. Fortunately, the meltdown is what I did, not who I am. I’m home now, for the weekend, enjoying the cocoon of my own house and my own routine. Breathing deeply, trying to relax.

Apologies to Nancy for giving her a sex change (she’s still a fantastic writer whatever her anatomy), I have read her blog, Doug and it’s great, I just did recognize the name (tend to remember the blog name).

Loved the intros to everyone’s comments. Thanks Alice. Oh dear, we are about to move through autumn into winter so hope those bugs dont follow us down under.

Doggone it – I submitted something yesterday – or so I thought. Apparently it never posted (I suspected something didn’t work quite right but didn’t have the heart to compose that paragraph again). At any rate, it was nice to read the paragraphs of others and find threads of my paragraph running through many of them!

Thanks for hosting!

Karen

Great job, Alice.
Wonderful intros.
You are the hostest with the mostest. (red zigzag lines under those two words tell me that they are misspelled words, but oh well …)
Have a great week (I see your emotional meeting says “pleased” so that is good)
Kevin
