Initially I was having two cups of coffee to make it till noon but now I only have one cup. First couple of weeks were definitely more difficult to concentrate but got easier and now I rarely notice. But I do the easiest pattern with an 8 h

Your reply made my day. I have two grown children and now an adopted 4 yr old girl. I realize as I get older (52) what a precious gift they are and make time to experience the world through their eyes (esp the 4 yr old who is a hoot). It&#x
