Last year at this time we were coming back from Rome...the year before Sardinia. Both were great trips. This year we are coming back from the East and our circumstances are changing dramatically. We had a difficult time visiting and arranging things for Alies. The plan is for her to come home on Thursday as dying in the hospital is not as comfortable as dying at home.
We needed to clear out her living room to make space for the hospital bed. Going through some things was a lot of work but it gave us both feelings of liberation. Gerda, Naomi's aunt, loaned a TV and a recliner so we transported and installed those things. The old TV was beginning to melt (I took it apart and found nothing amiss - I am mystified) so we got rid of it.
Fall has been turning to Spring - we skipped Winter - and it is time to think about putting in a garden. First we need to get the fence repaired that was blown over in some of the windy storms of the past months. Perhaps this year we can grow a bit more that weeds...
Not looking forward to school tomorrow. The distraction will be nice as I have had motivation for almost nothing apart from reading lately. It will probably be a short week as I will need to take Friday off to go with Naomi to help Alies settle in. We aren't sure if she will make it that long, so Naomi already said her goodbyes. A big week coming up, this one.
