Various thoughts on a restless night...

Tonight I feel restless. I want to read something new, interesting, but nobody has published anything worth reading online. Tomorrow Bryon goes in for his biopsy, and I wonder if that’s part of my restlessness.

We leave on Sunday for our vacation, not looking forward to that looooooooong trip, but have many ideas for passing the hours. It will take some time to prepare everything, but it will be so worth it in order to entertain the kids. Where are we going? Where are we not going is more the question. First we head to Cleveland to see Mannyand Silvana, then to Bryon's cousin's wedding. Then we head to New York to see Matt and Janet, whom we haven't seen in almost 4 years. After, we hit Massachusetts, quick trip to see Brian and Sheryl and Ian, then over to Greenfield to see all the old gang. Then back to Cleveland, Chicago to see the P's, then finally back to Colorado, and all in 3 weeks!!! Whew! I'm tired already!!

Elizabeth is missing Argentina mucho, her friends, school, lamenting being behind her class, etc. Adjustment has been hardest for her, and I don’t know if we’re helping her enough through the whole process. I’d like her to be in contact with her friends from Argentina, but tonight even though she saw that she had an email from Aixa, she didn’t want to write her back, even got angry and didn’t want an email address. Now what’s that all about?

I sewed a quilt square together, and of course it didn’t turn out absolutely correct, even though I measured correctly, cut well, and sewed as straight as I could. Dunno what went wrong. Oh well. The harder part will be figuring out how to place this new square with other patterns into a bigger square to fit into the bigger picture. I have the idea, but not the quilting practice to know what I’m doing. Learn as I go, I guess.
