Corrina, May I correct two things you said in your post?
One is that we are all way past "patience." Most of us have been going through the DTs for a few days now.
The other thing is that you have proved that you cannot be good to Goo and take her on an anniversary trip, because she will sit back and expect to have the royal treatment all the time. You need to keep her nose to the grindstone all the time so that she doesn't get lazy (and doesn't keep grinding out those stories that we love so much.)
Glad you are back. I am breathing much better now.
Pat
