You mister are a changed man. I am so happy that you are feeling so much better. It is Chris btw if you were curious. Glad you are getting back to normal.

    Matthew, what a fabulous video. Penny is such a cutie...she's not letting you go anywhere without her! When I saw her little head pop out from the bed as they key went in the ignition, I had a giggle. I'm excited to see you settling back into your home. Must be such a great relief. Excited for Friday's finale as well. Sleep well now you are back home and all is well with the world...well, kind of.
