It's life, Jim but not as you know it. Totally different, but for everything you have to give up there's something even more fun to take its place. Sometimes it's a bit of a trudge - but notice the little things, they'll be gone soon enough and even tiny changes are enjoyable in their own way. Sounds a bit sad, but I've kept a diary since my treasure was a week old - and it's been good fun to look back on, and kept me going when things were a bit tough.
