wow, lots has happened since Day 10

I'm grateful for being so busy with life since Day 10 I haven't had time to blog!

Head lice crisis has been contained. Phew. What a relief. Christmas/New Year celebrations planned, executed and completed. Had a blast too, great holidays this year. Only missed/grieved Lori two times this holiday season but was consciously happy for having her for a friend many many times of late. I must be working through the last stages of grief. Given the breadth and depth of our friendship, I can hardly believe it's only taken this long. There is no one like her.

Back to ordinary life.

I'm blessed with friends that are a little bit older than me and are having to plan for their parents' care. Makes me wonder about my own parents, and how I'm going to handle it when time comes to care for them. Makes me wonder what's going to happen to me. Yikes, there's a lot of truth to the comment "Be nice to your kids, they are going to pick out your 'home'."

I've decided that I don't want to work anymore. I want to knit, read, sew, spend time with my grandchildren. Not necessarily in that order, and maybe more than one at a time. I have not adjusted well to wage slavery. :P Pouty day today, I guess. Maybe it's having to shovel all the *&%#@* snow. Ya, I think that's what I hate most.

C'mon spring!
