had brunch with the family, they are OK. Now I am trying to shame my dad into looking where he's walking.
I am so tired (was before all the excitement) and the thought of dealing with the CRAZY extended family this afternoon kind of makes me want to cry, but I've been doing too much of that.
Thanks for the good wishes. The hardest part, after the actual witnessing, has been trying to not think about how bad it could have been. Trying just to focus on how that doesn't matter, because everything's fine.
Had a nice brunch. We're home now, and Tom is making hot cross buns to take with us to dinner.
sending health vibes to Nora's fanily - and a little grace tot.
Today we are going to ride an old train , cook steaks in the rain to celbrate too much food day and my birthday(tuesday) with my sister and bil.
Happy birthday NoiseDesign !
Nora--when the "how bad it could have been" gets into your brain, try combating it with "how great it could have been". Instead of tripping and being okay, maybe they could have developed superpowers and flown over the step. Maybe the step could crumbled, because it was made of solid gold. Once you make yourself smile about it (if it works for you--it does for me when I get into fixating on dark possibilities), let go and live in the now, when they are both healthy and right here with you.
Hee, Robin. You made me smile, so the technique is working already! That's a lot of fun. Thanks!
Robin, you're wise, even when you're being a giant goober. That's true wisdom.

So true. I strive for this scrappy-esque wisdom every day.
500 posts to the next title. Are there candidates?
Thanks. Kristin and I are headed to Vegas in a few hours.
Have a vegas-tastic birthday, ND!
