This one is all too real – all but the last two panels. My wife tends to do this, although not quite this bad, with my daughters. This is why we do not visit my younger daughter who is a little more sensitive than Cathy is. My older daughter just tolerates it for the short visits we have at her house. Fortunately both daughters come home to visit a few times a year so we still get to see them – in addition to the family vacations.
This is recovery day. Fantastic Christmas dance recital yesterday followed by the competitive team party. Was rather tired by the time the party started. Something about tearing down all the lighting equipment (with tons of help fortunately), packing my vehicle, driving the relatively short distance home then unloading the vehicle and storing the equipment back on the shelves. Sure wish I had the energy the young dancers have. They were still partying when we left. Hope everyone else here has a nice relaxing Sunday.
