thank you for your kind words, armee.  really.

thanks for the hug, hannah1.  and back atcha! 

i'm quite worn out today, had a bunch of stuff i was going to do and just thinking about all of them last nite i knew it was too much.  i have to pick up more thera-flu for my D - she's still congested and coughing and it's interfering w/ her sleep, which isn't good, and she still has a low-grade fever.  i also have a Rx to pick up for myself from a different place.  go to the food bank. and visit w/ my galpal, see her cousin whom i haven't seen for 40 yrs., and who is a staunch political advocate. 

as i was thinking of all this last nite, it washed over me that i can't possibly do it all.  going to my galpal's includes 1/2 of driving one way.  so, i began ticking off things i can put off till sat., and now the only things i'm gonna do is get the medicine and go chat w/ the girls.  plus hair and makeup, which i've only begun doing when i go somewhere, but it's still energy used.

can't wait till tomorrow.  i can rest.  my D is apologizing all over the place for being sick, and she knows she doesn't need to, but she also feels bad that i've had to do all this running around to make sure she's getting what she needs.  i haven't driven this much in a week in so many years, probably the last time was when i took off for mexico.

but birds are singing this morning - that's my music, and one of them is a robin, and i love that. so, i've got a smile on my face in spite of everything.

I'm glad you have been able to care for yourself by thinking about what can wait. I'm also glad that part of your plans remain going to spend some time with the girls. And I'm glad you've got a smile on your face.
