Father's Day, belated

[falcongrrl]

I had a really wonderful visit with my parents (dad and stepmom) and brothers today. :-) I felt like I got to hear a lot about what's going on in their lives, especially some of my brothers' exploits in baseball, which are pretty amazing. My one brother is a killer shortstop and relief pitcher; the other one pitches frequently (usually the first choice, iirc) and plays third sometimes. They're both decent hitters, although one just started hitting homers (and the other's a little jealous, I think). (Confused yet? Their initials are both AA, so that doesn't help. And yeah, they're twins. :-) Born when I was twenty-one.)

Anyway, we got back just in time for Daniel's new karate class, then home, then dinner. Now it's bedtime, and I'm completely wiped out. Dave's out w/work friends now, which is normally something I celebrate and encourage, but...wow...I'm really tired. I wouldn't mind seeing him walk through the door anytime now.

Still, overall, yesterday and today have been really good days. I still feel a bit of tightness in my chest, some anxiety, but largely things are really good, and I'm grateful for it.
