Have I mentioned before that I think 'normal' is way overrated, if it even exists?!?!?! Really, somebody tell me what 'normal' is and why it is so freakin' terrific!!!! In medicine 'normal' can't really be nailed down - there is always a 'range' of what normal is....normal - it's like trying to nail jello to the wall - lotsa luck!!!!
Yesterday was D-Day around here! My sister and her family officially 'moved in' - really except for sleeping and the adult contingent showering everyone had relocated here - I'm not exactly sure when that happened.....it just seems 'normal' now!!! So, the beds, and shoes, and clothes, and cosmetics, and medications, and......is here, and I know there has to be some more to come. So - there is now a new 'normal' here, and I'm great with it....but it will be an adjustment for everyone. Bless my sisters' heart - since she and her family moved in with Dad about 2.5 years ago I'm sure she feels like 'normal' isn't even part of the English language - that is something she has to be anxious to define when their house is done. My sister, she's one that likes some order in her chaos (I'm not finger pointing, I'm built the same way) - and for the last couple of years, order has been a pretty illusive commodity....so let the excavation and building begin!!!!
This morning I realized there was a whole new normal....I awoke to the sounds of a little baby doll stroller rolling across my hardwood floors and hearing my almost three year old niece say 'Ancy...you wake up????' Really, not such a terrible way to wake up, she had such a sweet little voice!
Living situations are changing...and the seasons are changing here in Indiana....my favorite season, fall time. The leaves are starting to turn - blazing red, sunset orange, speckled yellow - the corn is being picked, and where it is not picked are the corn sheaves ready to give up their bounty. Though we seem to be in the midst of Indian Summer, the air is drier and the nights are crisp and cool - ah....fall time.
So, yeah - it is affirmed once again - "normal" it is way overrated!
