back on line

Hey there, A,


I’m writing in Word while currently unable to get an internet connection—so I’m not sure if you’ve written today….but will begin by asking about your Easter. A good day? Nice and quiet as planned?

We had a small group at my mom’s, which was fine, only among the missing was D—and that was the elephant in the room. We all enjoyed one another’s company, and the food, and the superb weather, but all the while knew D was missing. And not because she was in California or off on an island vacation. She was home because she’s feeling awful—nauseous and wiped out from chemo and unable to think about food never mind be around it. I can understand her wanting to be home in bed, but I missed her. And I wish this would all just go away.

Today it was back to the grind, but since we’re in the last quarter of the year, and the weather is still gorgeous, I did okay. Tonight my plan is to clean up around here a little as my kitchen is a mess and my place in general a disaster area. Oh, and maybe drink a little. Just a little…

Looking forward to hearing your latest.

Love you.
