Time is a funny thing, is it not. When it's stretching out in front of you before a nice holiday or a long weekend or anything good, it seems to take FORever to pass. When it stretches out in front of you before a dentist's appointment, it flies by in a heartbeat. But no matter what, when it's behind you, it seems to have passed in a blur. Take right now for instance. It's Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 1:23 p.m. I have precisely 253.5 days till retirement. Tonight I'm buying a couple of Iced Caps from Timmies and taking doughnuts over to Moms for our weekly visit. We both love that little time on Wednesdays. But tomorrow, this will all blend into the big stewpot of our history. I'm not feeling well today - some kind of tummy upset. I hope it goes away in the next four days, cuz then we leave for five days in Las Vegas.

Last night was Asia's first night away from home. Apparently she has chosen not to live there anymore. Good thing she got out now, while she still knows everything. Or at least, that used to be the joke about teenagers. In truth, this is no laughing matter. I worry about her constantly. I hope she comes to her senses soon, and goes back home where she belongs. :(
