I didn’t sleep very well or long and in the brightness of the early morning I decided to just get out of bed. I didn’t feel well at all though and I just sat on the couch dejected after realizing I had forgotten the crochet hook. I brought my blanket to finish. Rosie managed to find one I could work with. Eventually after watching the news and having a light breakfast I decided to head back to bed for a while. A couple hours later of tortuous brain defragging I got showered and dressed and went outside. Uncle Bryan and Auntie Lynne were puttering away at the landscaping and gardening. Having finished this place last year this is the first spring they’ve had to work on it and it is coming along beautifully. We used my Insect identifier app to try and deduce what is happening with the plum trees. There is a Neighbour cat, Max, who comes to visit regularly.
When I went back in Rosie agreed to shellac polish my nails for me as I had brought my supplies. This is not her thing but she did an amazing job and they look and feel great! I’m surprised as we kept laughing every time my belly turned on the dishwasher.
Then I was ready for rest and distraction again so we thought we’d go on her Shaw Bluecurve and sign in to my Crave to watch a movie. You should have seen our stunned faces and then uproarious laughter as we realized we signed her up for it on their bill instead. We watched Wizard of Lies about the Madoff ponzi scheme. I was aware when it was happening it not the whole story. Really quite incredible. Rosie went and picked up fish and chips, num! She and I then watched the Normal Heart with Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts. A good look at the fight for acknowledging the devastation of AIDS in the early 80’s
That was not uplifting, we should have chosen comedy.
I was honestly stunned when I noticed Uncle B’s chest zipper scar. Rosie told me all about his quadruple bipass at the end of 2018. I am sure I would have had to know about it. I have no recollection. Just relieved he is all better now.
I tried to stay off social media as much as possible today as when I checked in, there are some issues. SSI is grieving and differences happen then.
I finished the crocheted part of my blanket and now need to finish tucking in ends and block it out. It is big and heavy! Now I must rest as I will drive home tomorrow. I can’t believe how this stay here was so good for me. To be with loving family when you get bad news really helps.
I am doing better. Everything’s gonna be okay
