Today's the day

Great news from Illinois! Bill's dad's CT scan yesterday showed that his cancer is in temporary remission. The chemo has worked for the time being, he's well enough to travel, and he gets a break from the medical maw for awhile.

And that means my husband can come home to me at last. He's driving today, and should be here around sunset. My solitary hermit existence is over and I get to be a wifely wife again.

Usually, I revel in my "alone time" when he goes to sea, but this time, it seems I've missed that man every day that he's been gone. I'm not sure what changed, but I'm as giddy as a girl anticipating her first date this morning.
