Hi friends! I'm just popping in to say HI! I have a normal non-cramped schedule today for a novel change and so thought I'd post greetings here. I've been to the vet with Maia this morning already and will be getting ready to go to the groc. store soon. I also need to do a lot of laundry. Then I have payroll this afternoon. I also hope to exercise but the weather is so uninspiring that I'll probably just go to the gym. We're getting snow flurries as I type. *bleh* We're tired of winter.
I'm not on facebook either so I'm not keeping up with many of you at all. I hope you are all well.
We're having very gray weather here too, Kathryn. Nice to see you're still working on sermons!
I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Twins. I resonate with your quote this morning. I hope to get things done today too!
In helia news: Dfil passed away about 2 weeks ago, and we all went to the funeral in the Netherlands last weekend. Dd19 was home for spring break, so she flew with dh, dd22, and myself. Ds flew separately from Seattle. It was a really nice time of remembering dfil's life and being together, though rather socially intense for some of us with a large family event Friday night, 3 events on Saturday, the day of the funeral, and one more on Sunday. Dh's family is just so numerous - dh's siblings and spouses + children make 33 people. And extended family members and close family friends were a part of the family events as well. But they're all really lovely people, so it's always a pleasure to be with them.
One snafu: dd19 started throwing up Sunday morning, the day she was to fly back to NYC. We changed her ticket by a day, so she flew back Monday, the same day the rest of us did. She had an important meeting Monday morning -- but had to miss it. There was really nothing else she could do. The professor was very kind about it, but the meeting was with a critic from the NYC fashion world to critique one of her projects, and dd19 was not happy to miss it. She'll meet with the critic again in a week or 2, but this meeting would have been helpful.
Next for me:
- some qt
- make the bed
- start the laundry!
