Dear John,
It was a good, steady Friday. We had a carry-in lunch to celebrate the announcement that Danielle's baby is a boy. It was a good day. Most of the plants are closed for the next two weeks, so it will be a bit slower for us. We have a lot of customers leaving for vacation.
Right now, it's a lovely, cool, rainy evening. The neighborhood is quiet; all I can hear is birds and rain. I turned the television off so I could just sit and listen. We've had a beautiful early-summer. The corn and soybeans are loving all the rain we've had, but the hay still won't dry.

I knew I'd do this when I planned the vacation. It's well worth it. Chronic Illness Cat is absolutely right - sometimes you decide that what you want to do is worth the flare it will cause. That's a choice we all make at times. I had a wonderful vacation that will be with me long after the flare leaves. In the meantime, I will take care of myself. I'll take pain medicine, rest when I can, and let the animal hair on the floor accumulate undisturbed. This weekend I will knit, watch television, and sleep. And I'll be glad for every moment of vacation! It was a good choice.
Your achy, breaky wife,
Joan.
