this morning #2023.

this morning, i quickly came up with a system. developed a makeshift set of guidelines for how i was going to navigate the impending arrival of my big sister. mere months removed from her divorce. tonight. rural girl’s first time in the big city. my responsibility to keep her alive. it’ll be TOTALLY fine. as she reminded me multiple times when she declared that she wanted to spend new year’s eve with me, “i’ve been to provo, sis.” provo? OH! well then! in that case, we’ve got nothing to worry about. cosmopolitan kathy over here! if she doesn’t lose her purse in the first twenty-four hours, i’ll be shocked. that’s where my rules come in. the most important one: listen to me. if she opts to ignore that, all bets are off.
