Feeds:some time later
Well!
So many things have achieved occurrence!
For startsies, we until very recently had not one but both of my brothers-in-law staying with us. We had been encouraging various family and friends to move to Chicago for years, and when the elder of the two seemed ready to make the leap, we kindly offered him a place to stay until he got on his feet. Okay! It was to our great surprise when, a week later, that the other brother was also moving to Chicago, and his plane would arrive in two days. Alarming!

Though he is helpful and gladly does housework, buys us groceries with his food stamps, and strives to be unobtrusive; nevertheless we are having a baby and we need that guest room for nursery objects.
