My cat is here now. Yay!

My eyes hurt like crazy from all the chlorine today. I am sore from swimming for hours on end. I tremendously enjoyed the time spent with my niece and nephew and even their friend though he can be trying at times. I need to find a way to spend more time with them on a consistent people because while my back was turned they became very cool people. Raging Waters is apparently way fun.

It was really good to have bonding time with blood relatives today. I am so very strange about blood relations. I am really glad that I can be the aunt to them that I don’t have. I love them and accept them no matter what kind of quirks they have or how annoying they are or whether or not they keep their mouths shut when the topic of family secrets come up. I hug them and cheer them on and tell them I am proud of them. Even when I am stretching it a little, the looks on their faces makes it worth it.

I’m really really happy.
