Notes from the bathtub

• I emailed my sister on Monday to say congratulations and invite her to lunch. No response to date.
• Reading Shambhala Sun always brings me back to my best self. I should just get a subscription already.
• I told a cousin of mine about the adoption. Take that, Mom!
• Next week, MIL arrives on Tuesday, we spend all day together on Wednesday, we attend Ms. P's work benefit Wednesday night, MIL leaves Thursday and our dear friend M. arrives for a four-day visit. I've lost count of how many times I've changed the sheets on the guest bed recently.
• I need summer to end so people will put the good cheese away. Fancy-schmancy cheese I can resist. Fresh mozzarella on homegrown tomatoes? Not so much.
• I had my first spiritual direction session in five years. I think it's possible that I'll actually figure out what I experience as the vague sense that something in my childhood is notable but unspoken.
