I had kind of a bittersweet day today. I was baptised by total emersion baptism into my sister's church. It was bittersweet because I was wishing so much that Ma and Dad could have been there with me. I know they were there in spirit, but I do miss their physical presence so much.

The weight lose front has kind of been at a stand still. Up a few tenths of a pound, down a few tenths. I have lost 32 pounds total since 18 Sep 01. Only 7 of them since December.

My sister and I have been cleaning out Dad's house getting it ready for sale. It has been an emotionally and physically draining experience. Top that off with a period that is almost 3 weeks late, and you can only imagine the stress I have been under.

My sister and her husband will be married 25 years on Tuesday. Friday night, my husband and I and 3 couples from my sister's work took them to the Olive Tree for dinner. They thought it was just Yobo and I taking them out. You should have seen my sister's face when we got there and the other couples were there. I am making them a cross stitch sampler to commemorate the occasion. I didn't get it done by Friday, but it will be done and framed by Tuesday, which is their actual anniversary.
