I'm so excited about it being writing shack day, I can hardly contain myself! Excited because I've managed to cross a lot of things that were bothering me and so all of my other little areas feel well taken care of, and I can just rejoice in this day. 

 Elaine and I had lunch together yesterday, and about half way through she said that she'd seen my letter in Lagniappe, and that it was really good, and really well written. The non-verbals that accompanied her words made me feel like she and I are in agreement, and that was very comforting.

 I stopped by Zak and Vivian's and visited Vivian and Beth and Linda and Morgan for a little bit, since they were there having lunch together.

 I got to talk to Daddy and Kathi yesterday. The second thing she said to me was, "I'm just wondering when we're going to have a great, great-grandbaby!" Daddy said that thinking about it had made him wonder how his great, great-grandfather looked. I could hear excitement in his voice. 

 Daddy said that Andrew had been down to see them this past Saturday. He told me that Andrew had let them know he'd like to come visit them while he was in Orlando, so he had called to tell Andrew of three Saturdays in October when they were going to be free. Daddy said, "I think I called on a Friday, and he said, 'What about tomorrow?" and I could tell that tickled him.

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...
