Yesterday my COPD  flared up sufficiently to keep me from sleeping.  I have a large grocery order being delivered this morning, and unless I get some rest, getting it unpacked and stored will be horrid.  Therefore, this is today\u2019s only article.  I am not current with replies, but, if I feel better later today, I\u2019ll catch up then.  Tomorrow I have some errands to run, but should be blogging normally.<\/font><\/p>\n
