Be safe on your trek, Twins'.
Must post without CUOPosts - no chance to get here yet today.
When I last checked in, I was trying to decide about the funeral home again - I went.
So another visitation yesterday, seeing some important people from my childhood. As I thought about it the night before, realizing that a very special matriarch - my dmother's best friend - didn't have "anyone" to go specifically "for" her except me (she passed away when ds was 2, and had no children), I knew I had to attend her dsisil L's visitation. I felt a little out of place, but then recognized one daughter and then another. Then their cousin, who introduced me to her daughter as "my cousin"
almost made me cry with that remembrance and how close to the truth it always was.
She drove a long way to get here, carrying a very tasteful framed, multi-matted arrangement of photos of her aunt L in various family groupings. As I stood there staring at it, I could hear L's unusual voice clearly, as she would fuss from her kitchen during the times she was The Mom In Charge of us girls. I recognized the photo of L's dh and little girls around her, which was precious to my dmother's friend - I think she loved it because she was the one who had insisted on taking it after church one day, circa 1960.
Back home, I weeded the garden in my visitation clothes, deep in thought. No explanation for that.
Shook myself out of it, went in and changed, and then back out to work a little more sensibly.
Received my order of a couple new-to-me used books, one on pain and one a desk reference. Another I had ordered mostly because it was a signed copy, was cancelled by the bookstore when they realized they could no longer find it. Oh, well.
Today has been intensive church Desk Day, chasing down a discrepancy but finally getting the report compiled. It rained, stopping my weeding streak, but it wasn't a soaking rain, so maybe I can get back to that Monday.
Both boys came over this afternoon, along with ds' children, who adore Uncle J (dstepson). After the children had to go home, dstepson took HRH out to supper and I stayed home and S2Sed for tomorrow.
In the coming week, I'll take care of toddlerC both Mon and Tues mornings.
