I read the posts when I woke up. Sleep helped. Just takes me a minute to remember that I'll do what I can, till I can't.

I'll be going to stay with my sick friend on weekends as often as I can. I am usually free on weekends and will be home on weekdays for the things I do here. My ex b-i-l passed away over the weekend. We weren't close, but I met him the same day I met my husband in 1971, and that old gang is pretty well gone :/

One of my dear nephews is in the area and wants to meet up a day next week, so I want to make time to see him. He is such a sweetie. And one of the exchange students we hosted is planning a visit next May, so we were texting about that.

I let my local Dem h.q. know I'll be driving up to the Cleveland area in case I can run any errands on those trips. May as well add in as much volunteer effort as I can

Sometimes I feel like the leaf in Forest Gump. I'm at rest in a good spot and suddenly the wind blows me here and there. Who knows if it'll be good or bad.
