Today was cooler and I ended up going back to bed mid-morning just to get warm. Didn't really feel like sleeping, but slept and then had a hard time waking up.

Y was whiny. Ya went to a friend's house who lives a ways away (G neighborhood). The friend's dad will bring her home. H had a headache centered in her left temple. Took paracetamol and rested before doing homework. A went to lesson at Rachel Center with his dad.

I woke up early and attacked the bathroom with bleach. I left the heater on a while to try to discourage mold formation now that is cool and often wet.

Folded laundry, picked up, took garbage out, re-arranged dining table, and got the kids organized for school. Ya worried she wouldn't manage to put her contacts in on time and went to school without them.

That reminds me, when we came out of the optics shop after she got them, she seemed drunk for a minute. "Every thing's BIG and CLOSE," she said as she tried not to get knocked over by it all. Then she really enjoyed seeing the world.

Neither of my messenger services are working and I feel cut off. Still haven't heard from my sister.

My oldest sister is moving near to where my parents' live. Her husband got a job there, and she managed a transfer. It will put her in a ray of a triangle formed by the residences of her children.

My oldest brother gets reports of the whereabouts of his son A from various institutions every so often. His son Jy may be in contact with his mother. He's proud of his son B, who has succeeded in turning his life around.

In my letter to my parents, I told them about A and I uprooting a bothersome climbing plant from the yard, potting it in several pots, and putting it in the area under the skylight. A is thrilled. "I want our house to be a jungle," he says. I told him there was little chance of it since no light gets in except under the skylight. My geraniums, hot peppers and basil did well there last year; so I am branching out into vines. Hopefully they will cover those ugly cement block walls. I noticed the ex had put the huge Swedish kerosene heater in front of the connecting door on his side, so I don't feel bad about letting vines cover it on this side.
