Tonight's picture was taken in January of 2009. Mattie was home from the hospital and that day went to his "girlfriend" Charlotte's birthday party. Charlotte's family coordinated this party around the time Mattie would be home and able to attend. Mattie and Charlotte were amazing friends and they brought out the best in each other. As you can see Mattie was seated right next to Charlotte at the party. Ironically Charlotte did not like Scooby Doo until Mattie introduced the show to her. She feared it was scary. Mattie convinced her it was fun and watched it with her. Which explains why Charlotte was able to have a Scooby Doo themed party.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

- Number of people who died from the virus: 846,217
I got up this morning at 6am, so that I could get myself ready for the plumber's arrival. This meant making breakfast and starting chores earlier, so that I could get my dad up by 8am to shower, dress, give him breakfast and do exercises with him. Honestly by the time the plumber arrived at 10:30am, I felt like I put in a full day.
The plumber spent the ENTIRE day with us. He left at 6pm. He changed all the toilets in our house. I truly did not want to do this, but given that each one had issues, we have no other choice. I want to avoid floods at all costs. To change toilets meant that the water had to be shut off for most of the day. Major issue as going to the bathroom is a frequent occurrence in my house. I set up a commode in my office downstairs for my dad, and he most definitely needed it. My typical day is a three ring circus, but today was over the top. I felt great pressure as my parents were uncomfortable with the lack of water and by 2pm, I told the plumber that I had to take my parent's out to lunch.
I LOVE our plumber. He has worked for us since we moved in. We have spent a lot of time together and he has introduced Mattie Miracle to his company. A good guy. Fortunately, as I left him alone with our house and he was even keeping track of Sunny for me while he was outside. Needless to say I feel absolutely frazzled and unable to accomplish ANYTHING that I feel I need to do for myself and the Foundation. It is hard not to feel frustrated and angry. Maybe not a mature response, but it is most definitely a human one.
When I got back home, I had about two hours of cleaning to do in each bathroom and on our first floor tile floors. Just going from the outside in around here carts in a tremendous amount of dirt and the plumber was back and forth all day today. So all I can say is I have reached my maximum for today.
