I had a couple of interesting things happen this weekend, which is to say that I was caught up on my work and so when Beth had time to spend with me on Friday, it was like being at DeSoto --- I could be there and just relax and enjoy and not feel like I was doing something I wanted to do instead of something I was supposed to do. 

 Angela and Tori were home for the weekend, and Kennedy for a little while Saturday afternoon, and I got some of the same kind of time with them. 

 We took Beth and Rodney to Firefly, and Beth and I got some time down on the beach together, We went back with Angela and Tori and picked up glass and pottery and laughed together as we got a heavy piece of driftwood out of the surf, because I wanted to save it. 

 Beth and I got to sit and sip tea and watch t.v. together and Tori watched a movie with us. 

 The girls seemed really excited to be home, and to see us. 

 I got to talk to Beverly for just a little bit on Saturday morning and she asked me if I had gotten a card from her. I hadn't, but went out to the office after we got off the phone, and there it was: a card she'd made and an envelope she'd decorated. I can't be sure of the timing, but it seems like she might have been making it the day I was feeling .... blue. 

 I heard back from Andrew.

 Annette achieved her first yoga pose.

 We had lunch with Morgan and Beth and Rodney on Friday. Morgan's not sure why people are saying they feel sorry for her when they find out she's past her due date. 

 Last night was Kim's last night shift at Providence.

 I saw Chris in the parking lot in front of Archer's. He said he and Tyler were doing laundry.

 Heard from Michael --- he sent me pictures of Daniel's homecoming. Faith was going to come swim, but changed her mind.

January 9 Well, we won the National Championship. In the three years that I have actually be watching football, we've come close, but never gotten it, at least I don't think so. Anyway, last night's game was stressful, but we came away with the prize, so that was good. Beth and Beverly and Morgan and I watched together in the sense that we were posting about what was going on at our house, so that was kind of fun. Saw Kim a little bit, too.  Brittany and I had a little text visit. She did start her classes back yesterday which was a little hard in the rain, and with her recent ankle surgery. She said that she has a scooter and that a friend helped her get out of her car, but that getting back in had been kind of difficult.  Beverly and I had a little phone visit. She still has some unpacking to do, JA started his first day of work, and she did some editing of her resume. She found an opening for a Resident NA in an oncology department. Neither one of us knew w...

February 10, 2018 My favorite hotdogs, on buns warmed in the toaster with just the right amount of ketchup, mustard and pickle, the hotdogs grilled in the small skillet with cheese melted over them at the very last. Perfectly delicious. Followed by Breyer's vanilla ice cream topped with Coops hot fudge sauce. A favorite meal. All by my quiet, unobserved self. And when I got the date and time set up on my elliptical, and my user profile set up, and got my iPod hooked up to it so that it will stay charged up it made my heart race. I'm so excited!!!

January 8 Second Sunday Supper was joyous last night. Andrew seemed relaxed and started off sitting by Barry and talking about pickups and I heard him say, "I'm not sure I made the right decision," in son-asking-father tone. And then John came in and the three of them discussed the comparative pluses and minuses of various makes and models of pickups.  Kim went straight to pet Mama Cat.  When I said that Tori and Josh were still good friends, still good to each other, had just decided that they didn't have the kind of fire that takes you through all of life's troubles, I ended up looking at Kim, who was nodding as in how important that is, and I remember her saying about meeting John, "It isn't like I didn't know right when I met him that he was the one." Chris said, "I wish all of my relationships were that mature," and Andrew, in big brother love, "So do we." Chris said, loving back, "I know y'all do!" J...
