It's my sister's birthday. I MUST remember to call in the morning (her evening). She sent me a really nice card and letter for my birthday. Aww, she's a good sister. She was mean to me when I was little. Just for the record. But she has since explained to me that it was because she loves me SO much. Okay, okay, I'll leave off her. Luckily she finally figured out that she is not suited for a career in psychology. Some smart person must have figured out how to explain it to her. She realized she doesn't have the patience for people to work through their problems. She wants to give solutions and have them implemented, pronto. Much anguish has been averted.
I was going along swimmingly, then BOOM. H got sick. She's been home from school. I had planned to take A to buy his birthday present and some clothes on Monday afternoon. He was FURIOUS that I wouldn't leave H for that. He was bent on revenge. I pulled into my shell. Didn't want to live. Today A and Ya stayed home "sick" as well. They are sort of sick, I guess. Nothing like as miserable as H. They spent the day playing computer games and watching funny videos.
It was sunny and A and I went for a short walk in the woods. That helped pull me out of the funk, I guess. And somehow I was just more in control. I watered the flowers, added more dirt(and very fat earthworms)to the cement block planter. The plants keep mysteriously disappearing from one part of the planter. Hopefully the extra dirt will bog them down so they don't float away, or whatever.
Y is staying overnight with his nephew. He asked permission as soon as he got home from school. He grabbed his pajamas and a kiss and was gone. I really figured that it wouldn't work out and he'd be back after a fight or what-not, but here it is, far past his bedtime and he's still gone. My Baby! On the one hand my heart aches with missing him. On the other hand, it was nice that A wasn't beating up on him all evening.
I've been bad about writing, but that's enough drivel for now.
