Ladies

Today was a great day.

Despite waking up too early and enduring a few miserable hours caused by certain lady problems, I was up and at'em by noon, and Mom and I went out to lunch.  It was a treat.  I had the day off of work (which turned out to be a bigger blessing than I thought, considering my issues earlier in the day - working through them would have been so much worse than laying in bed through them) and I was not prepared to waste it.  So we went to Target, grabbed some yummy Mediterranean food, got some coffee, dropped off some papers at her doctor's office, and went home.  I got out of the house and it felt so good.

I'm not ready to leave.  I'm not ready to say goodbye to these days with my mom, these nights with my family.  We had a multi-round, two-on-two ping-pong tournament, got Dairy Queen and then watched an old Harrison Ford movie.  I don't love anyone as much as I love my family, and no one loves me as much as they do.  How can I leave them?  I feel like I just got here.

This sucks.  The lady stuff isn't helping, either.
