Non Stop A Go Go

The fun never stops.  I am just a little exhausted from the non-stop activities, starting Friday when I went to California. You can just imagine how we went out every night when I was over there. I don't even remember if I was able to get enough sleep when I was there, but I am pretty sure I wasn't getting eight hours. And I didn't mind, of course. Last night, after I got home, we went out again, this time to take our old neighbor Vina out to dinner. She attended a conference here all the way from Auckland, New Zealand. I haven't seen her for years, and she was my sister's BFF growing up. I got home at around 1 a.m. exhausted. Now this evening, my nieces arrived from Oklahoma, and again we took them out to dinner. And again, still tire, and I don't know if I will be able to sleep early tonight. I need to be totally relaxed to be able to sleep, and as you all very well know, they don't arrive nearly too soon for me. But whatever, I can deal. It is nice to have my nieces here - I havent seen them in probably eight years or so, and they have really grown. One is already in college (and wants to be a doctor!) while the other one is a Sophomore in High School. Time flies, indeed.
