The gringa rests

The gringa has had a serious event with her epilepsy. She will be in recovery for awhile. Doctor says no driving, work or computer time for now. There will be a few posts after this announcement that were already scheduled. The gringa wants me to express her great love to her dear readers & assure them that she will be back. She is stubborn like that.
