I'm in a kind of spring cleaning mode. I am trying to clarify what people say to me, and am finding that even best friends and spouses speech can be unclear at times. I seem to be on a sweep, because I even called our car repair place and clarified what we wanted and needed. And I did a pretty good job. With my friend, I discovered she is covered for her surgery and really doesn't need my help, which is good, great, and no rescuing on my part necessary. With my husband, I told him how I felt when he says certain things, and he responded that he just has been grumpy with headaches for a couple of days and we made peace.
I think the clarifying began at the beginning of the week when my older daughter gave us the good news which we've been waiting for eagerly: that the treatment is helping. A lot of clouds dissipated immediately, and now I feel like sweeping all the cobwebs away. I wish I could say I literally am cleaning house, but no, this is all strictly metaphorical. But who knows? Next, the vacuuming!
