Holy cow! That's an awful lot to handle. You are most certainly entitled to a meltdown. What strikes me is how generous and kind you are in taking care of your friends even while you're feeling cruddy. You put a lot of energy into helping solve others' problems. I hope you'll be able to also do something to pamper yourself.
Don't feel bad about wanting your daughter to not be there. You're still keeping tabs on where she is and had her call you. You're overwhelmed and I imagine she likes staying overnight with a friend. And as you said, she's more likely to get to school on time.
I agree about waiting to get your car and then photocopying your documents. Think "path of least resistance".
For spyware I second the Ad-aware recommendation. Spybot Search and Destroy is also supposed to be decent. It's freeware also. I have both. Your friend should have a firewall. Windows XP has one built in. I forget if earlier versions do. If I get a chance I'll see what's out there in freeware.
Go ahead, ask your friend to help with dog walking. Simplify the tasks in your life as much as you can right now.
Eat ice cream. Don't forget to breathe. Hang in there. (((Fallsfall)))
