Random gratitude

 

- At last, official confirmation that Doris' expensive medicine is covered!

- Meeting with financial planner last week went well. Retirement plan is on track

- Today is Sunday. Doris left Thursday to fly to Texas with her parents to visit an uncle, and she's coming back Tuesday. I'm sad when she's gone but I am proud of myself that I've been fine. I've kept busy.

- My sis and her husband Paul are in town. They are spending most of their stay at an AirBnB with his (adult) kids, but their first night they slept in my guest room. They texted to say they wouldn't be here till after 9:30. So we agreed - I left the key in the mailbox, they let themselves in....and I slept through all of it!

- Saturday was productive with farmer's market table and then Postcards to Swing States

- Today the fam went to Lyfe Kitchen and Millenium Park. It was good to see Paul's kids; they've matured nicely. (And random note: Lyfe Kitchen has an "oatmeal cocoa" drink which is like hot chocolate but way less sweet and I loved it! I think Doris might like it) 

- Fic writing is still going great. Am getting about 6 comments per chapter. I'd love more but it's ok because I do love writing this fic.
