243/365 Spider on Glass
Waiting for the bus I noticed this spider on the windshield. I almost managed to catch all of a curious dragonfly in the shot, as well. File this under the pictures I take when bored and waiting.

242\365 Sick, Sad Monday
All appointments were made, V got the sleep he needed, and things were handled. At SIL's she was going through things. In the last few months Richard had been doing these as his ability to other things went away, and she had pulled the ones she was keeping out and the rest were going in the trash. She seemed guilty about it, saying over and over she didn't have room for them all, I kept telling her of course she didn't, don't worry about. My boys were going through them and asked about some for their bedroom wall. I told them to each pick one, yet this is what we came home with. I found I couldn't say no.

241/365 Imagination
L's unicorn has had quite a day. It traveled to a neighboring town and back, it took a nap along the way causing everyone in the car to speak in whispers, and once awake it needed to use the bathroom. It used a piece of paper in the car, which L carefully folded at the corners to keep the rainbow colored mess from getting on anything. Once home he took paper from my printer and made a place on the floor for future such needs.

My SIL's hospice vigil ended this morning around 3 am. We were back and forth a couple of times today, once with kids and once without. Long story there that I don't have the energy to share. Tomorrow more back and forth, plus boy #1 goes to the dr, and cat #1 goes to the vet. Somewhere in there V will need to sleep because tomorrow night he will be working 12 hours. There is boy #2 to get to and from school, as well. If I am not as present as normal tomorrow you now know why.
Not writing all of that to complain, just to remember. I read one of my older journals recently and it was amazing how much I recalled from a few written words. I hope I can get back to that.
I should be asleep.

240/365 Worn Down
The rain just seems unending. I hate the heat but I need the sun. I'm a big bear when I don't have enough of it, and lately, definitely not enough.

Made a food delivery to SIL and MIL, ran other errands, and Vaughn got some house projects done. Heard from an old friend/former SIL about a surgery she's about to have.
Tired.

239/365 End of the week
Dr. visit confirmed strep, again, for the youngest. He felt a lot better today despite the scary looking throat, so that is good. Oldest was awesome this afternoon when we were out and, seeing a woman struggling with a door and an umbrella, ran over and held the door for her until she got things fixed. So sweet!
We were supposed to start helping move SIL today but that didn't happen. Waiting for her to let us know when she is ready.
Crappy cell phone pics of the day...

238/365 A very long day
Spent much of it at hospice sitting with my SIL so she wouldn't be alone as she watches someone she loves die. Came home after MIL arrived and got the boys off the bus. L began mentally breaking down the moment he was home. When he wasn't crying he shared he'd almost fallen asleep on the bus. Fever was 101.8, throat was swollen and nasty red.
Picture of the day is this.

My SIL told me to lift the cover and see what lunch was. It was for her, he is beyond eating now and doesn't wake. The "field peas" amused me and she laughed a little laugh and told me to go ahead and take a picture of it. Family knows me well. After snapping that I made a run to Whataburger for her and MIL, getting them what wanted.
