You may have noticed by now that I'm taking a break. I didn't intend to do so, but when I realized that I felt as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders I decided I needed to. I'd been feeling smothered - suffocated - and I need to not feel like this.

I'm worried about Aunt Alice - not that I have any knowledge, but just from what Linda just posted that Ted had found out. When I saw her at Quna's house for her birthday and gave her a hug she felt like a bird- so little and fragile.
How are you doing, love? Still working?
Things are crazy here - the wedding just slightly over a week away - Ambers pregnancy - still working on the house - plus we are going to put in an above ground pool
Good night now - I'm going to listen to the rain and let it put me to sleep

I'm not ready to write yet - it's so much easier this way - I don't feel the pressure.
Just got over being sick - 2 1/2 weeks - ran a fever, body aches, etc. I seldom feel my age, but I surely felt old all this time. Still not 100% but I'm getting there. I know it's been hot in California - I know you prefer that to the cold (of course I'm just the opposite).
Going to Alabama next week to see my friends - gonna be hot! But then - it's hot here too so it doesn't matter. I just stay in the house. Maybe the pool will be here when I get back (I can hope).
I do think of you - check this site constantly, waiting for your answers.....

I think of you every day - though I know you doubt that right now. It's different here - this is a very small town and we live rural. You'd like it - well, except for the no beer part - lol. I don't know anyone here who has ever even had a drink, for the most part. This is how I grew up, believe it or not, so I guess it's fitting that I'll finish life much as I began it - at least in a similar environment
It's slow here and quiet - even with a new baby around it's peaceful. Maybe especially with a new baby around :)
