This is not the best thread for me to post to, but I don't have many options, right now.
I turned 66, and feel closer to 96. The latest is that I "may" have walking pneumonia, nurses aren't sure. Hospitals, and their doctors and nurse practitioners (who would be able sign off on meds), don't want to see me, or my sneezing, as I'm without medical insurance. I have a persistent dry cough, that off and on sneezing, and very low energy, and no other symptoms. For now, they say to get rest (about a month), keep up with nutrition, and come back if anything gets worse.
Because I may be contagious until all symptoms disappear, I have to hold off on doing the swap, for now. The best thing for me would be to rest for close to a month. But, I know that I will cheat when I have a few days of very warm, very sunny, calm days, and attempt to pack some things outside. I'm also saddened that the small chocolate sample squares were starting to melt, indoors, here, on the one warm day. So, I will have to exclude those, this year.
So, participants will have to plan on their packages being for their next year's garden. As long as I'm alive and able, all packages will go out.
Also, I am now currently without home internet service. So, for the next month, I might be rarely online. Next week, I will attempt to PM MIssS all of the addresses for the participants in the EBTKS swap, if I am not able to do it myself.
Hopefully, someone can pass this info on to the TLC group.
Sometime next week is when I will, at the earliest, be back online.

Oh my dear.
Wishing you a year with enough rain, but not enough to give you pain. It's a tall order, but you deserve it!
