Hi guys-

We got your letter, Kevin, and we both really appreciate your honesty. I think we are all more or less on the same page. We’d like to respond more fully, but it might take us a day or two.

It’s good to hear that you had fun holidays, and that the new year is off to a good start with plans coming to fruition. We rang in 2019 with our friend Timmy, who has regained the use of his elbow and has some movement in his fingers- it was good to see him doing well.

Huge congratulations on the job, Tim! I hope that the shutdown isn’t affecting your work too much 😬

Monday will mark a full month since I was last at work. I’ve been doing a lot of reading, cooking huge amounts of food, and—in an unexpected turn of events—yoga. We invited all of our furloughed friends to a potluck supper and some board games this evening, which will be a good distraction (it’s also my spineaversary- two years since the accident!).

Hope you are both having a good weekend.

❤️
