a) Thank you for your e-mail.
b) I am functioning.
c) The second armchair on which I relied has also become unglued.  Nathaniel has brought me from downstairs a solid reliable replacement which is lower, but to which I am getting accustomed. After your return, I will ask you for advice and help with this issue.
d) I have filed all required tax returns for this year. I am attaching copies of these files, because there is a perhaps 30% probability that you will have to file them for me next year. I have also forwarded to you my e-mail request for the Required Minimum Distribution from my retirement plan.
e) If at this time it's not convenient for you to store this documentation, I can resend it later.
f) I hope that you and Laura have a comfortable and safe return.
