Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. Mattie worked for hours in the child life playroom with his art therapists and then surprised me with a huge box of hand made valentine's, along with a crown of hearts. This was a very tender moment in time, and I am so glad Mattie's therapist caught it on camera.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 77,284,578
- Number of people who died from the virus: 912,549
Today was another crazy day. I got up early, changed the linens on my bed, and began the laundry at 7am. Then got showered, dressed, made breakfast, and a snack for my mom to take the salon in Washington, DC. I got my dad up, showered, and dressed. He had breakfast, and then I sat him in his recliner, so that I could drive my mom to DC. Since Peter was home, I could leave my dad in the house.
I spent hours in the car today.... driving from Oakton (VA) to Georgetown (DC), then Georgetown to Oakton, and then back to Georgetown to pick up my mom at the salon and then back to Oakton. So that is about three hours of driving.
While my mom was at the salon, I went grocery shopping, then came home and put everything away. Made lunch for my dad, helped him in the bathroom, folded laundry, and drove back to DC to pick up my mom. I feel absolutely frenetic today. Whatever free moments I had, I spent dealing with doctor offices, my dad's health care company (who sent us health sensitive documents that were NOT ours, they belonged to another client.... a serious HIPPA violation), and our painters (who have to come back to estimate how to fix our cracking moldings).
I am now going to stop doing tasks, get my sneakers on and walk Sunny. It is the only time I get out of the house and am not doing a task.
