What a roller coaster ride!

The title says it all, I had pretty much resigned myself to not going to the memorial,  when all of a sudden I heard from my mother yesterday, I wasn't sure what to expect given that our last conversation hadn't been pleasant, but she had come around and is now, if not thrilled with my decision to stay at a hotel, at least she has accepted it, I decided to go ahead and tell Lisa today since I had forgotten to ask her when she'd be back to work anyway. She knows the situation with regard to my sister and I and wasn't surprised when I told her what had gone on. I'm just glad that part of it is settled and I can start practicing psalm 23. I always get nervous when I have to do any kind of speaking in public. I hope the butterflies don't get too bad.
