1) Continued 'Grandpa watch' for whether he was willing to keep fighting to live even though he was exhausted with life. It took an understated threat of going to the county nursing home for him to want to eat and work on moving better. Mom came home for a break in the care taking and was crying in exhaustion. People, don't be so domineering over your children.
2) My husband came one step closer to joining me. He is overseas and a few things have to happen for him to be able to come home to me here. One step just completed and so we have 2 steps left. We are very excited about it though, and it is making daydream about our future again (much to the hesitancy of my husband).
3) A bunch of tornados hit my area here and killed over 300 people. It took out whole towns and left almost the whole northern half of the state without power. Having no power leaves you to figure out what to do with what you have. Candles become heaters for water. Old magazines become firewood, bottles are used for all sorts of things, and dusk is when you actually go to sleep rather than stay up all night. I think I'll miss it a little actually, life without power, but am still glad to be able to see the toilet without a flickering wick next to it.
4) Osama is now dead. This was a big surprise and, like most people, we want it proved rather than just believing it. I see it as a good thing that justice has come, but I fear of the ignorance of others coming back to do more harm. I hope they don't release any photos, that's just inappropriate.
Lots to think about, lots to do. So I am going to go do it now. Toodles!
