Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

The Millenium Falcon in process:

 

This has been a long week....and it's only Thursday.  I'm not quite sure why.  I've had some difficult evenings....tired from work and struggling to understand why this is happening to Judi.  Of course there's no way to understand it....it's just the randomness of life I guess but it is hard to come to terms with it.  She's trying to get things in place.....as soon as she decides she can't live alone any longer she will come here.  In some ways I'd like her to come tomorrow but I know how hard it will be for her to leave her house.  She loves her house and it's an amazing place.  The whole thing is hard on Ernie too.  The other night he went off on a rant about winning the lottery and taking her to the top cancer centers to see if they could do anything.  I just smiled at him sadly and kissed the tears in his eyes.

On a brighter note the boys have no school today and were floating on air all evening about it.  They had no homework yesterday and were beyond excited.  It's amazing to me what a big deal that is when they both do their homework in about 30 seconds.....  Oh, to have that big a weight only take up 30 seconds!!

Last night I sat in the yard by the fire for awhile but then ended up going inside, made a quick stew of white beans, leftover pesto roast pork and chard and then curled up by myself in the media room and happily watched tv while my mind hopped around.  Sometimes it's so nice to be alone.
