I'm sure you and Zelda did the best that you could with them, and that's all that matters. Did the spiders make it, too? They're generally good with making sure that none of the nasty bugs get to them.
Oh my goodness. I'm going to guess that there's something at work that made it so time doesn't pass much at home, because I certainly would have noticed you being gone.
That's quite the full house! It's not as if we don't have the room. I look forward to meeting them, and if Dan is making sure that you eat your vegetables, I'm sure that him and I will get along splendidly.
Sweet Satan, that certainly is a change from the one we're used, isn't it? Don't fret, dear. If he flirts with me, I will just let him down gently and tell him that while I am flattered, my heart already belongs to someone else.
