I am sitting in front of MY messy desk with MY old Emac with MY husband rubbing my creaking back and MY kitties sitting, one on either side, soaking up this togetherness!
It was sooo great to stay with Mom, and I will miss her - though we see each other frequently it isn't usually for multiple nights. I need to get some more healing underway and go home to help her out with some of her challenges. We went to Barnes and Noble today; she esconsed with coffee and egg strata, and I with a Diet Coke and Anthony Bourdain's newest book, No Reservations....
Mamer spent the night with her brother and his family in Plymouth - today she and her sister in law went to see the amazing Frida Kahlo exhibit, while Mom and I hung out a bit. Later, Amy picked me up, and 6-month-old Rowan and I rode like the two little kids in the backseat (he DID get the carseat, however!) Rowan was perplexed by me at first, then, after he realized I wasn't going to do anything interesting, he went to sleep.
We unloaded at home, with Pat still rushing to clear space in the house from the furnace installation that disrupted my absence. Within minutes, I had Sophie on my lap; then Xena. I lost it when I saw those cats -- cried like Rowan after a 3 hour car ride!!
So, I'm home! Mobility-impaired -- no riding in the front seat, or driving, with a broken sternum. If anyone can get me to/from Cardiac Rehab (830 AM Appt Thursday) I'd love it! Not up for much company yet, just barely in the door and hardly dashing up and down the steps yet....
Thank God!!
