Yah, well, I have an Adult Beverage (no pretzels, though, as the feet swell too much) and will allow the calming influences of my friends to keep me on an even keel today.
I am NOT going to give in to the things I can’t change. So as soon as I adjust to that, I will be fine.
If my sister dies before I can get to her, there is still nothing I can do to change it. So I will quell the panic and move out smartly, as “they” say.
A toast Face to your Sib. I’ll raise my glass with you on this day. May your Sib be okay! Prayers said. My promise, this shall not be the time nor the place of sadness.
I’m having an adult beverage and thinking of redhead, too. I admire people who stick it out in Alaska!
We temporarily have all the people at home, but Tom and Vlad are going to Mass later, and Sally plans to spend the night with a friend up the street.
