I sure am happy to be home again. The past couple of days have been taken up by looking around, walking around, sleeping in my own bed, sitting in my own chair, using my big computer (as apposed to my laptop) and generally feeling happy The best news is that GD1 is feeling “great”. She … Read more
Yesterday was 70 degrees, but today was a good day. GD1 is back to being herself. S-in-L went to the gym in the morning and took GD2 to play in the kid’s area when he went. GD1 and I went to the home improvement store and got handles for her dresser. She carefully inspected everything … Read more
I’ve been here at D2’s home for a week. I haven’t been away from home for a whole week since I stopped working, unless Papa and I went somewhere together.
