Something achieved only after at least three reads through the newest chapter? And a few minutes of deep breathing after hyperventilating? (which has not been a good thing where I live - we have health warnings in place because it is so hot and dry and the air is full of smoke from hundreds of forest fires! *cough*)
Time to go re-read and hyperventil...cough...ate again so I can achieve a measure of Zen ... hehehe (flails around with you)
Ah, I just saw a news story where Southern Australia got a sudden dose of winter in the form of a snow storm - did that affect your area?
We have been experiencing a drought in my neck of the woods, water rationing, record breaking heat and other strange goings on ... and then a city to the south of us just got a thunderstorm that flooded a number of communities - crazy!
Goes back to meditatin...nope flailing around.
Thanks so much for the update - so much new drama to contemplate ... hmmm ... *needs to take a zen moment*
