Ggal--Sorry to hear about the toe! Hope you are getting lots of sewing in while resting.
Jan--I can't help you much having never worked full time outside the home. I would say maybe cutting back to 1 day a week would keep you busy (and help pay for those FARTS).
On the other days you can make friends with S-16 (once she's running again).
Honchey--Have a great trip and get lots of sewing in. I haven't decided on sashing for my MBs yet, but I have been thinking about it....
