I just wanted to let you know in advance that for awhile, when you e-mail me, you will be receiving an automated response that confirms receipt of the e-mail. It goes on to say that I will answer you personally, but it may take up to 2 weeks. I love receiving your e-mails, and I do read and respond to almost all of them, so don't stop sending them, but I'm way behind - you can't imagine how behind - I am in answering, which is why I opted for the automated response.
I hate the impersonal nature of those automated responses, but I figured it was better than having you think I'm ignoring you.
Dear Joan, We not only understand, we don't know how you do it all! We await your "How To Manage It All Despite Alzheimer's Intrusion" Book. It will be a best seller! ; )
