Today was work. I actually went in early today. Michael was very happy. I hope he's not expecting that to ever happen again. :) I also was sooooooooooo busy that I didn't leave 'til almost 7. I was cutting it close for yoga, but I made it. Loved it! I have only been to yoga twice in the past month, and after the 3-4 times a week I was going, my body felt the difference. Weight watchers scale did too. I gained a pound and a half at yesterdays weigh in. Still down 24 but I'm hoping that going back to yoga will put me back on the losing trail. It feels great to lose weight, and maintaining is fine, but there's way more excitement in the losing.

What else can I tell you? Gma is fighting through her bout with breast cancer. Her reports were all good. She goes for radiation twice a day this week and is in good spirits, but there's no way that stuff can't take its toll on you. I wish I could take some of this away from her. I know there's not much I can do but love her. She is thankful, hopeful, and doing fine.

Brandon is recovering from his surgery as well. He had his first day out today. He had a picnic in the park with his momma and grands. When I spoke to him on the phone he sounded strong and awesome! I am so glad. He's the best young man around. He was always such a tender heart. Did I tell you about the New Years Eve we spent together? If it's a repeat, just stop reading and go on to another day.

One year, way before I met Mitch, we were all up in Vermont on New Years Eve. My sister, her sister in law Andrea, Andrea's sister Joanne and their brother Scott were all there. All of them have spouses and children. The ball starts to drop. Everyone is counting. 10. 9. 8. Each of the guests are standing with their spouses and kids. Holding hands. Drinking. Laughing. Smiling. Counting. 7. 6. From the corner of my eye I see Brandon looking at me across the room. 5. 4. He runs over to me, he was probably about 10 at the time, and he says, "I'm gonna stand with you Auntie." 3. 2. 1. Wheeeeeeeee! Happy New Year!!! Branny and I hugged and kissed.

I love that story 'specially cause it was so obvious to me that he was coming over to me so I wouldn't be alone. Tender heart. That's him. He's an amazing old soul.
