Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2005. Mattie was three years old and we were on our yearly trip to the beach in North Carolina. By that point, Mattie loved the beach. Not so much going in the water, but most definitely being on the sand. The Outer Banks will always hold special memories for us and I am so glad we made these trips happen.

After interacting with the doctor this morning, I then contacted my dad's memory care center, as I did not want more questions about his arm/hand. I explained his care of plan and when he got to the center, they wrapped up his hand for him because of the excessive oozing. When my dad got home this afternoon, I started him on the steroid. I am hoping it works its magic, but I am tired of one crisis after the other.
Meanwhile, I took my mom into the city today for a massage, while I had a facial. I haven't had a facial since perhaps 2018. The beautiful part about all of this is I have returned to the salon right next to our townhouse (where we used to live) in Washington, DC. I went to that salon for decades, starting in my 20s! In so many ways, going there is like returning home. I have decided to not go back to the salon we were going to in Georgetown. Georgetown is too congested, parking is horrific and the uneven sidewalks are a massive problem for my mom. I have made the executive decision to remove one stressful experience from my monthly routine. It was the best decision I have made so far because there is great comfort in returning to a place that has a history with you.
