And, sweet Indian boyfriend and his sister will be here as well. They're experiencing a growing grief these past few weeks with an aunt here in town suffering a meningitis type of cancer. The survival rate is not something anyone even talks about, with the prognosis being very grim. Still, she's undergoing radiation now and had chemo the other day. SIB and his family are devastated, anticipating what's to come. Unless the Lord causes a miracle, it's just plain sad. So, as a distraction, SIB and his sister will come over here to be swallowed up in children. That way I'll have ALL my chickens with me. I figure SIB and oldest daughter will marry some time in the future (not near), and might as well treat him and his sister as family. They add some spice to this anglo-saxon household.
Anyway. That's about it for me. Still enjoying quieter days, just puttering around. Has done my spirits good, and I highly recommend it. I've made the mistake of relying on scheduled holidays as our off days and my stress wasn't on the calender. Sometimes you've just got to quit. Glad I listened to that. And not sure I'm through yet---might need some more time. :)
