Of the three people who needed to return my calls

Two have (finally) done so:
One with disastrous results (which I will attempt to scramble and fix tomorrow) and
One with wonderful results (which is the only thing saving my sanity at this point)

I need sleep to sort it all out and another 24 hours would be great. I guess that it is, on balance, fine. I don't know how pessimists get through their days sometimes. This is hard for me, and I'm decidedly not one!
