Another gorgeous day, shorts weather in fact. I decided not to cook anything today as we have lots of leftovers. I hear that the dusty drywall sanding is being done in the basement tomorrow and Friday, with painting to start on Monday. It's looking good in spite of everything. M asked the owner of the renovation company to drop by tonight to answer a few questions. Knowing M, they'll be quite detailed. I suppose I should sit in on this one (sigh).
I just had a call from an old girlfriend. We decided we should meet for dinner and as M and I will be having our 20th wedding anniversary on Oct 8th, we thought that would be reason enough for a celebration. As it happens, this friend's mother is dying of cancer. It's a tough time for the family to see her slowly deteriorate at 76. My friend's daughter started university this fall and surprisingly my friend was not one of those moms that get depressed about the whole thing. It's gone smoothly. I'm already mentally preparing for L's departure in just a few years.

I started dreading my daughter moving away to college the moment I found out I was pregnant! Haha. Seriously, I watch my friends very carefully when they talk about their children moving away. Most of the time they're ok with it once it happens. It's the lead up that's so emotional.
I'm sorry about your friend's mother. It must be very, very sad for her and her family.
