Monika, you should absolutely NOT be embarrassed! These are unexpected expenses and they're not cheap. Not having thousands of dollars just lying around is nothing to be embarrassed about. Neither is needing some help. Don't waste your energy on that; spend it getting well.
T, glad your move is going well and you're trucking along.
Work today, and then tonight is the Northeast NJ Beekeepers Association Honey Cup! It's the annual honey competition, and this is our first year entering. Last year there were about 70 different honeys. They give trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, plus medals for best label, plus this year is the first year there's also a mead competition. We're not entered in that, but you can bet your patootie I'll be taste testing and voting!
