I completely forgot that you had started posting this. Oops. Anyway, I think this is by far the best version of your epic story. It's very coherent and easy to follow as well as compelling and nicely paced. Bravo, m'dear. I can't wait to read the next installment. :)

Poor Julia, so empty that she has to nap life away. Seriously, you mention napping every few paragraphs.

You have mastered the art of writing transitions (and other things as well) in an engaging manner. Julia flows through the scenes as they are drawn in my head.

However, I am confused with the Mrs. F scene. Does it have anything to do with the sandwiches?

Nice, Bris! Very visual. I could see all of it.
