Relief is the word of the weekend! I survived jury duty and was not placed on a jury! YIPPEE!!! I feared I'd have so serve and make a decision on something horrible like a murder trial. I didn't! I even got out early enough to make it to my LAST linguistics class!! Yippee!!! She sent our grades on email yesterday -- I got a B! I am excited! This class involved tons of memorization and that is hard for my brain since the mini stroke. I can do well with big picture stuff, but little petty details are lost to me (maybe because I consider them petty??).

I am so glad to be done with that class. I also saw the departmental advisers for my major and minor. My final program is signed off on and they only added one class to me. So I'm taking the one class this spring after all -- no rest for the wicked is what Mom always said. I'm going to do a 3 week class that meets Friday's from 5-9pm and Saturdays from 9am-5pm. I can do anything for just three weeks is how I'm looking at it!

The Easter lily above is from a plant that I decided to keep for me instead of bringing it over to my Dad. My hubby bought 2 plants that were to go to each of our parents last weekend. My Dad wouldn't be into it so we kept it. My Mom would not have been into the lily either -- she always said that these white Easter lilies reminded her of funerals. It makes me kind of laugh when I look at the plant. I must be a real sicko.

Tonight my friend Wonder Woman and I are going to a concert. Another friend of her's backed out and she has an extra ticket. She doesn't want to invite my sister (who she is also friends with) because she knows I wouldn't have as much fun with my sister around. How sad it that? I wish things would improve between us. My sister is now being left out because of how she has been acting. Wonder Woman sees it and is on my side. I feel a bit guilty over this but am grateful to have a friend who cares about me and is concerned about my happiness. My sister has always been the one people protect. It makes me feel loved to have my friend and her Mom looking out for me -- I just feel guilty and don't know what to say to my sister anymore.

My daughter Super Girl's first soccer game of spring was today -- she played awesome! It was fun to watch the team. They are all 10 and 11 and have played together since Super Girl was 6. They know each other well enough that there isn't selfishness -- they pass and take turns. She scored 2 goals but you'd never know it. I'm blessed she is a generally humble girl. Tomorrow is Wonder Boy's game. I hope and pray his team is better this year. He deserves to be on a team that does not completely suck. He needs the exercise too. AS DO I!!

It is really fun not having to study today!!
