Thank you feign, I am feeling better today. I think by tomorrow I can get back on the project. It's wonderful the kind of people that I meet through special interest forums like this - people who really care and don't mind a rant if it's honest and expressed from the heart. I'm moving from a cold empty prison-like apartment to an assisted living home where I will be able to socialize, make friends, and even teach hobbies like 3D printing and programming and weaving chainmaille and all the other fun stuff I do or have done. Plus there will be physical therapy and dietary attention for health. I'm going to give it my best shot, my all, and really make an effort to maximize the benefit of this opportunity. Then maybe the holidays and birthdays won't be quite so horrible and i might even enjoy them.

p.s. I think i'll get back on this project tomorrow starting with a way to handle the wire tees. Thanks for the patience, readers - a little TMI for you hahah!
