Mentioned to H via text last night that we were getting close to setting our vacation plans with my sister. He was interested in whether we would be gone the whole 2 weeks and asked for dates so he could try to make his work travel coincide with us being gone. I also let him know that my mother asked us to come stay a month this summer, for fun and to help everyone get a sense of what us living with them would be like.

H was over the last 2 nights, due back Thurs and Sunday. Texted me this afternoon, "Could D call me when she is free? Would love to hear her voice."

We called before dinner so they could talk. He stayed on the phone a good half hour, even though D was not super talkative, then updated me on some random things. He used to call a lot like that, but hasn't lately (since he visits more, I had assumed)

and that is all for today. I need to make myself go to bed earlier tonight - I'm more irritable, eating poorly, etc. At least it seems like the stress is getting to both of us. I need to pull out my bucket list and see if I can cross a few more things off/add a few things. And I need to book some childcare at the gym, get a couple workouts in over the next 3 weeks. Will help me sleep and be headed in a good direction physically.


Faith is, at one and the same time, absolutely necessary and altogether impossible.
