As much as I bash in-laws, I have to say that I do love some of them. I stopped this morning and visited with R's parents. The two lab dogs barked at me and then wagged their tails when I petted their heads and talked to them. They were all happy to see me. I shared some deep feelings with them. I told them about how ill R had been last week. They were relieved to know he's getting better as am I.  They are consumed with their granddaughter's cancer. I had to assure them that all the research I've done on her illness points to a very positive outcome. I talked with Scott (my longtime buddy and hairdresser) today. He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma nearly five years ago. It was even in his lungs and he is doing so well now. I had to tell them that since it's not in her lungs, kidneys, bone marrow and spinal fluid...her odds are beyond great for recovery. I hope it made them feel better. I am close to R's parents but not the rest of the herd. Although I care for them, I really can't deal with all the rest of them.

In the meantime, I had a nice evening in the hot tub and I am ready to sprawl out in my bed.
