Thanks so much for the hugs - its amazing to have someone thats going through the same thing!! It is a big adjustment and I hope more than anything you are right - that it'll be worth all the "hassle" in the end.
Like you, patience isn't one of my best traits either so I guess I just get frustrated and upset from all this waiting....but thanks so much for your support.
p.s. - i am in the process of making that bread/loaf. I sneaked a taste from the bowl before I put it in and to me it tastes an awful lot like ADB's
