help me be less foggy

A: Here is a picture of my kids at swimming lessons last Tuesday, and my camera lens was fogging over ... (That's not the part I need help with.)

B: The boys have been wearing the same trunks for over 3 years now. They still fit, but they're getting pretty ratty. Should I buy new? For purely cosmetic reasons? In a recession? Knowing that TIm loves to bring out the Dave Ramsey Stick when I want to buy stuff we actually need?

(Why are they so skinny - if they just GREW OUT OF STUFF I would not have this moral dilemma.)

C: Help me out with another foggy question...

Was going to see my 93-year old grandma on Sunday, but mom emailed a few days ago to say she is getting over the flu and I shouldn't visit after all. But I hardly every get a free weekend. And she's 93. And what if she dies? And I really want to at least see her for 5 minutes and I'd totally leave after just giving her a hug?

Should I stay home? Or impose myself?

UPDATE FEB 9: I went and it was so good to see her. Also, she'd like me to remind you she's 94, not 93.

Hey Auntie I - you'll be glad to know I went, and had a great visit. Short (only 40 minutes or so) but great.

She was playing bingo - and winning - when we arrived.

Thanks, for letting me know--it is dear of you.
(Distance makes the worry greater.)

I am so glad you went.

I have a feeling you think Walmart is the Devil's Closet, but I saw swim trunks on sale there this weekend for like $4-5 a piece...

I have an obsession with swimwear. I buy a suit a year. It is very bad of me.
