Also should I put ALL my versions of Apo (inc 7x) inside the 2.0 folder?! I am still in India. We are in the nice weather seas

Ha looking back it seems like this is going to be a yearly check in. I returned to northern India in October 2015 and it has been a lot of change and readjustment. A lot of good has come out of it already so not really complaining. I have lost abt 30 lbs so far. I always drop a load of weight when I'm living over here, the diet is pretty different. Adopted a rescue kitten right after Christmas who is now 5 months old roughly and a huge pain in the ass. We are on the cusp of spring, it was abnormally warm almost all winter, esp the past 3 wks, but this past week has brought a lot of thunderstorms (including today with high winds) and the
