I got a day off yesterday, my brother took a turn. It was awesome, my honey and I went to the gym, I got in a fantastic swim, we had a nice lunch, did the grocery shopping, and then went home and watched a movie. It was heavenly!!

My brother is having eye surgery at Northwestern on Thursday so it will be my last break for a while, but as mom improves the visits are a bit less stressful. Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.
