Well. We're home in one piece. I've already unpacked. I didn't leave a lot of undone laundry, and the general house isn't a wreck, so I'm pretty well primed for having a good week. I've hit my reset button on staying focused on being a woman who does good things for her community and takes good care of herself. 

 The visits at Horizon weren't as bad as I had thought they might be, mostly because Janet introduced us to Barry and Michelle, although we were running out of conversation by the end of the last night. 

 I think some business things may have taken place that were productive, but I'm not sure. 

 Angela sent me a text and let me know that she and Tori and Kennedy had landed safely in California. I imagine they're all sleeping late today!

 Andrew is supposed to come by and see me this morning. It looked like Annette and Brittany had a good race. 

 ~Andrew did come by and sat with me for a little bit and we had a nice visit. He said that some funny things have happened.... that they have a lot of meetings but that there are some he doesn't have to go to, so he doesn't. He went to the staff cafeteria at lunch time and all the one and two-person tables were taken, so he sat at a booth that was big enough for eight people. He saw a couple of guys looking around for a place to sit, one of them wearing an Alabama shirt. He said, "As long as you're wearing that shirt, you can sit with me. No one else is coming." So they sat, and before long the booth was filled, plus two, with men in their twenties, interns, working on the same projects Andrew is was working on. He was talking to them about how to get through it all, etc., and he told them he was old. They  didn't see how he could be. He told them he was closer to 50 than 40, and they asked him where his gray hair was. I could tell he enjoyed the opportunity to share some of the things he's learned with people who are coming up in his same field. 

 When I sent Noah his postcard last week, I told him about a man I saw rowing backwards. He said, "Interesting! There has to be some type of muscle movement technique behind the reasoning that they paddle backwards?"
DUN DAH DAH DUN!!!
My heart beateth over. Like way too far over.

 Vivian: If y’all are wondering how tired I am, just know I fell asleep at 6PM and woke up just now in a full panic thinking I was late for my 8AM shift. Chill, Vivian, you’ve only been asleep for 3 hours. It’s 9PM. ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂\

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...

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...

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!!!
