I think someone (BIL, unknowingly) turned on the lights in the theater. My impression is that H is beginning to realize that if he doesn't get more involved in his business, he may lose it (Not at all my fault. I've worked hard to keep it from going down the drain). Doesn't mean squat for our personal life, but I sure need him to take some interest in this business for my own sake. Despite my best efforts, I can't fill his shoes and although BIL is a great guy, he just doesn't have the expertise he needs at this point. H seems to be in somewhat of a panic, for lack of a better word. Not so much because of the current sitch, but where it's headed if this keeps up. Hello ... I've been trying to tell you this for over a year!

I thought the statement h made about being here most of July was just "meaning what they say when the say it" (AmyC, here) but he booked his trip this morning, so I guess he really will do it. Like I said, BIL may have turned on the lights in the theater. (Shout out to Stayed's H.)

Putting that aside, life goes on for me regardless of what H does or doesn't do.

I'm hoping to finally get my car inspected this weekend and get my gardening done.

Next weekend I fly out to see my sister. She's home and doing better, but has an oxygen machine to use at night and during the day, as needed. She has been a heavy smoker all her life and I guess she's now paying the price. I don't want to lose her. She's the only one left I can share and laugh about childhood memories with. I suppose it happens to a lot of us ... I'm just not ready for that.

I'm also beginning to think about my trip to NYC in a few weeks. My IC told me today that I should go over to the Plaza hotel and have tea or a drink at the bar, and also check out the Waldorf and have one of their famous Bloody Marys, as well as some other landmarks. I drove home with visions of visiting famous landmark hotels and having a drink at each, then stumbling back to my hotel to pass out in my bed. Naw! I don't think my IC is an alcoholic or anything ... just a romantic about movie scenes in famous NY hotels.

Hope everyone has a great Friday.
