Things are going really well. Really, they are! The kids are doing well in their studies and no one has been in the hospital. Paul has been studying like crazy for his planning certification and I have been cleaning out closets. All nice and normal stuff.

But...Pearl is gray and has dark circles under her eyes. She looks like she is losing weight, too. She feels fine, though. She was just telling me that she put two different kinds of jelly on her waffles and how great it was. These are the parallel worlds we live in.
