Triple Dinger

I really overdid it yesterday. I've got so much housework to catch up on, and after doing the kitchen and laundry I was just exhausted. I've got to rest up tonight, because tomorrow my niece is getting married, and I will be meeting my Mother and Father in-law for the first time at the wedding. My Mother in-law (I'm told) already doesn't like me because I'm not the same race as them. That seems like an excellent way to start things off. Personally, I'm upset with her....I know her and my husband have had issues in the past, but when he was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma, she didn't call, write, nothing. My own Mother was on a plane the same day he was diagnosed, and wanted to go confront his Mother. When I pictured my Mother slapping his Mother, I decided not to tell my Mother where his Mother lived. My Father-in-law and I have talked on the phone once, but we mostly communicate through the internet. He seems like a very nice man, and I think I'm more excited than nervous to meet him. It will be an outdoor wedding in the heat, so I've got to bring lots of supplies with me....testing meters, insulin fridge packs, sunscreen...I'm not to excited about being in the sun, but I've heard it will be a beautiful wedding...I still need to size up the groom and see if I'll let him marry my niece.

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
