Getting close to midnight, and I should be headed to bed. Tired today. A couple of times throughout a very relaxing but productive day, I felt my eyes grow heavy, felt myself wanting to crawl under the covers and sleep a little more.
But I didn't.
I talked with my little brother this morning. I love that we talk frequently. My friendship with him is precious and grounding. Life is hard sometimes. Getting to talk to my LB on a regular basis makes it a whole lot more bearable.
The night before last, I got to talk to one of my nieces that I haven't spoken to since the week of my father's funeral almost six years ago. We talked like old girlfriends for over an hour, and it was sweet, getting to know her again.
As I mentioned, today was productive, and I got seven scrapbook pages done. Making really good progress toward getting June of 2008's pictures scrapbooked. Not totally happy with the birthday layouts, strangely enough, but the important thing is not perfection. It's recording the memories, and that's what I'm doing.
The virus that infested my life a week ago Sunday seems to be out of my system, and Daniel, who caught the nasty bug from me, is finally feeling better, too. Tomorrow, we're actually going to see sunshine and probably no precipitation at all. Maybe the ground will dry in the sunshine, and our poor overworked sump pump can get a break.
And now...I'm off to check Facebook one more time and head for bed.
