Thanks Kat. Some exciting news, d18 who lives in Boston would like to come back and visit at the end of February. We just needed to pay for her airfare. W called me yesterday and she sounded odd, I couldn't tell if it was anger or fear, but she said the round-trip ticket was $400, and with oil prices rising we should buy the ticket soon.
The weird part, she asked me to ask my parents to pay for the whole thing! W viewing my parents as the piggy-bank is wrong. Work has picked up for me and so I am happy to pay for half, and I saw parents for lunch today and they gave me $100. W was happy to hear that I had $300 of the $400, and she would try and find the last $100.
W gave me a heart-felt "thank you", but I ain't doing it for her. I miss d18, and it will be great to see her.
