Life and Stuff
E's father still improving, but slooowly. Strength returning to left side, some movement of shoulder on right, plus when he attempts to lift his leg, staff can feel muscles rippling under his skin--a good sign. I am much encouraged. His wife, L, is putting in place arrangements for him to come home. She called and we got to talk a long time.
Finally got to talk to my niece, S, and nephew, D, on the phone while they were up in Alaska to support their mom. It was so good to hear their voices, and everyone was doing better than I feared. My sister, L, is still in that numb state of shock that allows one to function, but is exhausted.
My mom seems to be doing a little better, too. At least her physical health is good. Still a lot of trouble with the short term memory.
Meanwhile, I have been sucked into the virtual world of Gaia Online, and am having trouble focusing on anything else. Have done NO writing since returning from MI. I have, however, finished my round two critiques, and my round three submission, which is due tomorrow. What I have not done is finish my synopsis, which is also due tomorrow. Have started it. Will finish or bust!!!
