Hello...

Been at Spore (nearly non-stop) for days now... from the time we wake... till we eventually have to get some sleep...

and building up my Octopus Empire... still many game crashes... (frequent Save-game, is the only way to advance or make any progress... about to clean out fridge (removing out-dated things)....
  
even after everything... seems that we will still have to delete them from my Spore game (deleted another Empire yesterday... but, did little to stop crashes..
 
                                        .... and only 192 Days till Halloween...!!!
its Tuesday (again)... depression has been rough on us for a bit now... (we are rather good at "acting" so the "sadness" does not show to others... most a bit less talkative lately... trying to Not Think about things....
                       
               About to make a pot of coffee (do not feel much like eating) and get started  at things....
