I had a fight with my sister today. It's gotten to be too much. I did kind of apologize to her at the end, but really I'm not happy with the situation and am worried how things will progress when I leave the US. And yet I want to go home (to CZ) so much! I worry about her, which is part of the problem. I feel nothing I can do will change anything. Long story!

She and I went to see an art auction house representative today. I became shocked that she became frantically hyper at one point. I had to tell her when we were alone that she was, and that she needed to calm it. She said some very embarrassing things, despite. She was out of her element. Anyway, it's over. I fear the painting will likely perish in the future.

Tomorrow is my birthday. Another May gal here! After a complete breakdown, Hubby said he will take me to the shore tomorrow. I will forego seeing my sister. I told her we'd see each other the day after. I need a break! I yearn for the sea breezes and sounds...the sun on my shoulders...walking hand in hand with my Love in the sand...and a nice seafood lunch. Plus a long look across the Atlantic towards home! Only days after we finally reach that place will be our 25th wedding anniversary.
