Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2007. Mattie was visiting my parents in Los Angeles and that day we took him to the La Brea Tar Pits. A place he absolutely LOVED to visit. The Tar Pits has a wonderful museum that explains the history of the Tar Pits and showcases many of the prehistoric animal bones found in the tar over the years. In fact there is still an active tar pit that excavators work on to bring life to the many animals buried in these pits. In this photo, you will notice Mattie was trying to cover his nose! That was because the smell of tar is overwhelming at this site.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people diagnosed with the virus: 1,999,900
- number of people who died from the virus: 112,924
It is 9pm, Los Angeles time, and it has been a long day. I did not sleep well or at all last night. I knew Peter was downstairs with my dad and I was worried about him as well. As we had a long and stressful day just trying to fly across the country during COVID-19.
By 4am, I was up and decided to just get myself ready and start the day. Fortunately I did because I got my dad to eat breakfast, got him completely changed and in fresh clothes, and had a productive morning. Doing all sorts of challenging things like creating healthcare directives.
Later in the morning, we took my dad to see the doctor. It has been one issue after the other and yet Peter and I are also working hard to pack up my parent's home. We make several runs back and forth to their new home and I am on day 2 and already exhausted.
