Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2008. Mattie's cousins came down from Boston to visit with Mattie. As you can see they were imitating.... see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. What I think was particularly hysterically was that Mattie took no part in this. He was doing his own thing, he most likely took everything in, but did not want to be photographed or participate.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 50,078,410
- Number of people who died from the virus: 798,416
It is the beginning of a new week here. My parents are still adjusting. My dad's needs are consistently being met, so he seems to be holding his on. I am waking him up in the morning, showering him, dressing him, giving him breakfast, and then doing his cognitive, PT and OT exercises with him. Literally all of this takes me to about noon. Then at noon, I walk Sunny and today I also had to go grocery shopping and do chores. As soon as I got back from chores, I made my parents a snack. Then hopped on a conference all, and then have been doing chores ever since. I feel like I am on a treadmill.
In the process of trying to adjust to my new role, tasks, and demands, I realize my ability to be a friend has dwindled. I am not doing this on purpose, it is simply that I am on overload. What am I talking about? A friend of mine celebrates a birthday in December. Her birthday happened to be on the day after I arrived back in Virginia from Los Angeles. In the past I always celebrated her birthday and took her out to lunch. Unfortunately this year I did not do that, nor did I remember her birthday and write to her. Not great on my part, but I am hoping that in time, I can figure out how to balance all of this and the Foundation. Nonetheless, I know she is upset and then I feel badly in the process.
