Sunday, February 13, 2022

Tonight's picture was taken on February 6, 2009. This photo was from a series of photos Mattie's art therapist took of us that day. Mattie surprised me with a box full of handmade Valentine's day cards and creations. Including the crown of hearts on my head. Mattie was very proud of his accomplishments, which he worked on for hours that day, and was eager to show me each and every one. 

Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

• Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 77,735,068
• Number of people who died from the virus: 919,640

After the usual routine, Peter and I went back at it in the basement today. I would say it is getting better, but to me it still looks like a warehouse of boxes and things. It is truly a feat to work our way through this. In addition to processing through items, we also worked on getting our guest room ready for my lifetime friend, Karen, who is coming to visit at the end of the month. I had bits and pieces of this bed all over the place, and finally got it together today. Of course don't ask me what the movers did with the bed skirt to this linen set. I can't find it anywhere!

After giving up in the basement, we then started to place pictures and art work around the house to eventually go up on walls. It is ironic how art pieces we had in our home in DC do not exactly go here. Mainly because of size, as the walls in the house are so much larger. Then of course I am trying to blend our things with my parents. So frankly after hours of working, I feel like I did not get too far. Nothing got hung on the walls today, after all of this.
