glowing_dragonWhy am I up now, at 8:15?! More time for THE PROJECT, but still... SO SLEEPY!
Decided to call Auntie Ying last night at about 9:30. She seemed happy to hear from me, especially when I said I'd been trying to reach her for the past week! Apparently, her aunt (father's sister) died recently at the age of 93 (!), but Auntie Ying said that there was good news. I kinda knew what this "good news" would be, given her religious convictions, and I was right: the lady had rejected her 80 years of Buddhism, and converted to Christianity a couple of months before her death. Before I had time to roll my eyes too much at that, she said that her mom was calling her to discuss funeral arrangements or something. Phew! I said I'd call her again tonight, but we'll see about project progress first. We wished each other a happy belated birthday; she had seen my Facebook wish, but it hurts her to type. Okay, then...
