		<description>What?? Have I missed something here?  What's with the insomnia?  And your dad?
Gee Les, hope everything eases up. Glad to at least hear you are sleeping now.  Good on you for taking the course, my kids are always threatening to land me with one for Christmas.  I know I am a crap driver, but it's okay - the size of this island, everyone else knows it too, and keep well out of the way..

Good to see you back, bonny lass.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  ROTFL!  See, your life is packed so tight in comparison to mine (and mine has never been more tightly packed than it is now) that you just can't keep up!  I'll email you all the stuff you missed, what say?  Assuming I can knock a window in the timeline shortly.

"Ease up?"  I hope not!  Except for my dad being sick, I STARTED all this!  I just have to realign myself to a new and different kind of "busy", I think (which will no doubt shift to something else yet again, once I've grown accustomed), but I'm having the time of my life.  Finally.  :-D&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh, Les. I feared as much. I kept coming back and seeing My Kid is a Changeling and I thought what the hell, lady? My world is coming apart at the seams as it is, I was hoping you hadn't abandoned this here blog. I was this close to e-mailing you, chick. But, here you are. I'll give you a break and e-mail when necessary.

Don't mind me and my neuroses. Like I told Suzi at her place, I'm coming off an anti-anxiety drug and I'm starting to get into the wow-this-is-really-going-to-be-a-bitch-getting-off-this-drug phase. (And I'm not even half way through the detox stage. Goody!)

Again, don't mind me and my ramblings. Just saying hi, welcome back :)

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  You just email me any ol' time you feel like it.  You're one of the few, remember?  As far as kicking the drugs - exercise, exercise, exercise.  Take holy ol' shit long walks with the girls.  Buy a digital camera already and send me some pics, why not?!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Wow! They're rough on you in Canada when you let your license lapse, huh? That's a LOT of work to get it back, but it sounds like you could use the confidence that will come from taking the class. Congratulations for pushing through those fears and just doing it!

Nothing wrong with a break from blogging. We're always here when you get back.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Oh, no - they're not MAKING me take the course - I could just go and pay the money, take the test and get the license... like I did the first time, back in the "Olden Days"...  They SHOULD make little chicken shit people like me take a course though... so as not to freak out and cause accidents.

I think I may hire an "off-hours" Driver Instructor at the end of it all, just to hang with me in the car until I'm not petrified anymore.  And THEN.... I'm gonna learn to fly.  :-D&lt;/em&gt;</description>
