My eldest sister will be 77 tomorrow, so I'm going to give her a call this afternoon. Yesterday David and I received a big box of gifts from her...coloring books, colored pencils, pens that light up, hand towels, cards, and she gave me a belated birthday gift...a lovely sterling silver bracelet with an engraving inside about sisters. I treasure it. I set it in my bedroom so I can see it, rather than locking it away.

It's hard, because we lost our "middle" sister 4 years ago. It's painful for me; I miss her sooo much. But I feel especially sad for my oldest sister, to have lost her younger sister.

I'm going to take a shower and do laundry. Walking up and down the stairs to the laundry room will either help me wake up or tire me out
I have had falling down a flight of stairs type night terrors and severe fatigue that really affected me at work and the only med my sleep specilaist would offer was melatonin.
