Dark Heart

Greetings from Virginia! I finally got access to a computer today. We left San Antonio 6.30 om on Wednesday and arrived in Bracey, Virginia (J.'s parent's delightful lake house) at 9 pm Thursday (we drove straight) and met up with J's parents and sister. The drive was realivity uneventful...aside from my "detour"...we'll just say I gave up the wheel after that episode. Anyhoo, we stayed at the lakehouse through the weekend and drove to Richmond (the site of J's parent's apartment, close to his Dad's work) stayed for some dinner...then we drove to Waynesboro (the site of J's parent's second and third houses). In their third house (that they live in...the second house they rent out), we met up with J's brother. We arrived in Waynesboro late last night. SO today I got all dressed up and met J's grandmother.

I was terrified. She was the one I felt I really needed to make friends with. She wasn't too happy that I kept my last name when J and I married and sahe certainly wasn't happy when I gave Micci my last name. But, my fears were unfounded. She gave me a great big hug and we all talked for several hours.

So far this trip has been wonderful. Except, I forgot a very important fact about where J's parent's live. It's in the mountains of Virginia. And as everyone knows how knows me and my sinuses...that spells terrible terrible pain and discomfort. I've been on a steady diet of painkillers ever since we got to Waynesboro. It's utterly frustrating...when I am in pain my fuse is so short and I feel so crabby and ill-tempered. It's definately NOT a happy place. So far though I've been coping. But it does remind me that as soon as I wean Micci, I am goign under the knife and getting my sinuses fixed...like I was planning on doing when I found out I was pregnant.

Gee, that's long isn't...well what do ya expect...I haven't blogged in a week... did you miss me??? Tell me how much! Please...

Hey Q...I miss you...are you there yet...haven't checked yer blog yet...oh and did you take my clothes with you to Denton?? Esp. my black lacy shawl toppy thingy...can I have it back...
