It can work well if you're good with routines (which I'm not!)<br />As for the water shortages, it's something to do with a) burst water mains and b) idiots leaving their taps running in their homes all night to stop their pipes from bursting. Supplies in reservoirs go down as a result. Hence the problem.<br /><br />Ciaran - Good to hear from you. I'm not going to mention the war (the fact you're probably due back to work soon!), but I hope you're coping ok with the thought of it. I'm sure you'll bring back some air of positivity - that place could certainly do with an injection of good vibes. <br />And you're right. Life is not fair and it's impossible to understand why some, like your sister, never even get to have a real shot at it. All you can do is carry on and hope for a few laughs along the way.This Limbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142666613603776436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800673654164361221.post-49763284429690161662010-12-14T05:15:00.639+00:002010-12-14T05:15:00.639+00:00Hi Regina,
Lovely letter, straight from the heart...Hi Regina,<br /><br />Lovely letter, straight from the heart as usual with your blog. There are a lot of people in this world who need hope right now, I saw it first hand among the dirt poor of Nicaragua over the past three months.<br /><br />I'm not really a religious person, but I guess I've become more spiritual during my year of travels in 2010. Things happen for a reason, good and bad, and I hope you can believe that your life will take its deserved turn for the better.<br /><br />Hope is very important. So is the willingness to believe in a better future. My little sis left us 21 years ago this week. She was 16. Life is not fair.<br /><br />But I hope you find what you are looking for, and what you deserve, in the coming weeks and months. Have a great New Year and leave something nice out for Santa. You never know!<br /><br />CiaranCiaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020007990416558279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800673654164361221.post-37089404734227278102010-12-13T05:04:51.092+00:002010-12-13T05:04:51.092+00:00Hi Regina,

I'm taking all my info back to the clinic tomorrow to make a nuisance of myself again. Yes, I'm one of those patients, the impatient ones.<br />By the way I have been following the news about your winter storms and I read that snow fall is causing water shortages. What frustrates me is that no one ever explains why that is as everyone in Ireland understands why that is so. If you know, please tell in your usual elegant prose.<br /><br />Thank you<br />J Harper<br />Regina SkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800673654164361221.post-31141320583117070722010-12-12T20:29:43.299+00:002010-12-12T20:29:43.299+00:00J Harper - Thanks for the nice comments about my w...J Harper - Thanks for the nice comments about my writing. Meant to ask, what's the story with you and APD now? Are you still having drain pain problems? I presume they already have you on 'tidal'. I suffer with initial and last drain pain, but the in-between drains overnight are fine because I've been on tidal since the start<br /><br />Holemaster - I heard reindeer, never saw one. I'm looking into buying one though.This Limbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142666613603776436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800673654164361221.post-87399477871933138912010-12-12T15:59:28.577+00:002010-12-12T15:59:28.577+00:00Damn, you said infinity first.

Just yeah.
Regina,
I first read this post ...Yeah,<br />Just yeah.<br /><br />Regina, <br />I first read this post about four hours ago and first was going to give a standard cheer up reply.<br />but no.<br /><br />So yeah.<br />Just yeah.<br /><br />The most exciting thing I did today was fold and put away my laundry. I want to believe in good things happening in the new year and if S. Claus can bring that, I will believe.<br /><br />By the way, you write well. I appreciate the time and care you put into expressing your thoughts and feelings about this limbo. It does help me clarify my own somewhat inchoate thoughts and feelings.<br /><br />A carol:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRobryliBLQ<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />J Harper<br />Regina, SKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
