Hormones

I'm having a brief sabbatical this weekend as Jane has her sister Lois over and two of Lois' sister-in-laws - Jan and Ginny. They're all catching up after several years apart, I'm sure reminiscing about teen years spent together at a Brethren camp near Timmins. Anyway, I've been invited to find other things to do and places to be. So I taped video greetings yesterday for a new Chinese church building expansion banquet (that I can't attend) and then spent the afternoon, with my Mom, visiting my Dad at CAMA Woodland nursing home. He was quite lucid in some ways, for a change - though in and out of sleep. Thought at first I was his brother (Bert, who's been dead for several years - which doesn't say much for my facial colouring) but then thanked me for coming, calling me Laurie when I was leaving. Stayed overnight with friends in Hamilton and, because I have a really sore back, didn't go to church with them - which adds to my being stiffnecked and perverse, I suppose. Soup for lunch and then home to Jane, and to a house empty of 'sisters' - but I'm sure with a lingering aura of hormones. Ah, well.
