15 February, Sunday: Drinking coffee and eating a cheese scone. Feeling pretty good about my life at the moment. And the best news EVER--> Blake is home from the hospital. What a great day for everyone in the family. I hope he sleeps well because Beth and Matt haven't gotten much sleep the last week in the hospital with him. Can't wait to see him and hold him. But by the time I get back to Quincy he'll probably be ready for college. :) Nah, I'll go home this summer some time, or maybe sooner, depending on when Rob and Beata move back from Japan. I haven't heard from them in a while, so I don't know what the plan is. Yesterday, Jill made arrangements to let them see the kids via webcam. I hope that came off okay....

Jill wrote that it was a great web-get-together. Rob and Beata from Japan got to talk to and see the whole California side of the family. Very cool indeed. I know that Kayla talks about Uncle Rob, so I hope she enjoyed it as much as I know Rob and Beata did.

Meant to write this Friday, but Kev and I were so busy I forgot. Remember when I wrote that he used the phrase, “You’ll be ‘happy as Larry’”? Well, he gave me a pamphlet he received from a bank and the headline says, “Happy as Larry,” and “You’ll feel great with up to 25,000 pounds to sort out your finances.” I guess he proved to me that he didn’t make it up.

I wrote my weekly report and sent it off, began my taxes, did my laundry, watched Calendar Girls (loved it), returned my movies, went grocery shopping, cooked dinner, and now am back on the computer. Even though I only went out for a short time today, and on the surface it appeared I had a lazy day, I really got a lot done. Too bad I didn’t clean. I really must do that.
