What a Week!

What a week! It was busy, it was stressful, but it was good. My dad is well, D is responding positively to chemo, S turned 11 and I am one week closer to my next vacation. Meanwhile, the weather this weekend is supposed to be summer-like, so for two days I can pretend I already am on summer vacation.


As you know, I was on the fence about going to S’s party since I’ve already seen her, but D is thinking of going and I thought it might be nice to enjoy the nice weather there—with her and everyone else. It will be a perfect day for the party, and I would stay over…able, therefore, to enjoy Sunday on L’s deck as well. I hope D will join me for the overnight, and hope the offer influences her to go. That way if she gets tired during the party she can just crash when she’s ready. She can’t drive herself and is going along with her brother and sister-in-law; I will give her a ride home Sunday. I think I’m in the perfect mood to enjoy the weather and the company and a little time away from my own space.
I guess a change of pace it what I’m after because next week promises to be just as busy as this. In classes I’m starting new units in both Biology and A&P and I have my NHS induction in a couple of weeks so the pressure is on there. Fortunately, this time around I’ve been through it once already and know what to expect. Even better is that I’ll be done with it all a month earlier than last year.

No steak tonight, just comfy clothes and a couple of cocktails. Yummy (homemade) leftovers await, as does a bottle of Riesling and maybe a movie on demand.

Hope you have a good Friday night on deck and a weekend in store, too…

Love,
Barb
