St. Francis


Start by doing what's necessary; 
then do what's possible; 
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

- St. Francis of Assisi 

Doing the impossible, like sleeping late yet again.
The husband is a god.
We're off to test drive a friend's mustard yellow Volvo 240, made in 1977.
It runs on gas, and that's a helluvalot cheaper than petrol that my mini-van slurps and gurgles.

Then, we'll pick up Son#1 and #2 at my recently-divorced-brother-in-law's.

Home.
Sleep.
And just like that, the Christmas Holiday is over again.

Tomorrow morning, early hours, Son#2 and I are off to the eye specialist.
A parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon, and inbetween I'll be lying on my bed.
Reading.
Being very, very quiet.
