another mad mad rush to the start of the lunar year today: church and 5 stops spread out over the island. i'm getting old - i just couldn't help but sleep at the last place we visited today (i was so grateful it's a close relative's place so we could do whatever we wanted to do).

what i'd give for a good, solid, 2 week rest - with nothing to do but read, write, laze about the house, and swim. and yes, glorious sunshine!
