Almost...

Today was a bit rushed.
I'm patting myself on the back for
getting dinner made and getting almost all the
dishes done up before I had to drive my father and sister
to our farewell lunch, then to the airport.
I'm patting myself on the back for keeping cheerful
as we said goodbye.  (I busted out bawling when I got
behind the wheel to pull away from the curb.)
Perhaps I should not have taken Dad to Goodwill
after that, but we both found some good stuff,
it cheered us up and much of mine is destined
to leave my house very soon, I hope...

As Scarlett would say, "Tomorrow is another day."
