Schedules

I hate when we have to start planing out the summer.  Today J and I looked at the calendar to plan out annual trip to Michigan, so I had to start filling things on the calendar.  We have so much this summer.  My sister is going to start radiation treatment soon for a non malignant brain tumor, it will take about six weeks to complete, every day for thirty treatments.  Then we have a bridal shower, a wedding, relatives coming from down south for a weekend, 4th of July family get together, before I know it, it will be time to leave for Arizona.  

I don't like planning, it seems to make the time go so quickly.  I try to plan things with Louise at least once or twice during the week and with Connie on the weekends.  If I am lucky I get to see my younger brother once a month or so at our breakfasts.  I am looking forward to my nephews wedding because our whole family from Pa. is coming home for it. 

So much to do, so little time. 
The closer I get to my birthday, the worse it gets. Judy and I celebrated  out birthdays together in Door County, WI every year for the last seven or eight years.  I don't even want to think about this year.  I told J I definitely don't want to  be away from my sisters this year on my birthday.  I want to celebrate my birthday surrounded by loved ones, not alone grieving for Judy.
