Hey, good news! My brother's eye is much better! He's only seeing a flash or two per day now. I saw him yesterday and he was wearing his glasses and didn't have his eye patch on. He even went out and played golf. I am convinced that it was everyone's prayers that made a difference. So thanks, guys, for praying for him. I am so glad he's okay. :)
This weekend was okay. I watched all of Friends season 2. I read some more Robert Jordan (at a slow rate that's driving MaryElaine nuts because she wants to discuss the books with someone). I got to go to my own church (!) and have lunch afterwards with my friends, a "normal" activity that I haven't gotten to do in two months. The people at my church are so nice. The old college group seems to be re-forming now that there's a Sunday school class, so I'm feeling refreshed by that. I also went to another cookout at Kathy's parents' house and discovered, while weighing myself in their kitchen, that I have apparently gained ten pounds in the last six months. I don't look or feel different, and all my clothes fit the same, so I was pretty unpleasantly surprised. I guess it's time to start cutting corners again. :(
Tonight I am hoping to get my second air conditioner for my room. The cat woke me up at 4 this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep because it was so hot. When I finally did fall asleep, I had a string of bizarre, very scary nightmares. I refuse to have another night like that.
Nina is back from vacation, so my plant-sitting job is over. She mailed me a postcard from Oregon. I just got it today. It was a fun surprise. :)
