This is the time of year when I resign my self to the long, dark, cold, wet days to come. So when a surprise "sunstorm" came along, it was a good chance to get out and breathe deeply, move my legs a little, and enjoy some of the spectacular colors. Some of the trees are so brilliant, colors you'd never think would occur in nature. But God's palette is varied and his brushstrokes are accurate. Some of the trees were so brilliant, in fact, that their glowing red shocked my camera into overexposure.
Mom's been doing well lately. Medications have been regulated well so she's not experiencing much pain or nausea any more. This translates into her having better days, more energy, and a mind that's constantly on the move. For a while, we were doing everything for her, but she's able now to check in on the laundry, the dishes, or organizing her bookshelf. I still spend time over there most days, but am relieved that she feels well enough to visit.
The twins are less than a month away from completing their first quarter at the community college. They've done well, but the whole family has learned a lot about scheduling, keeping up with assignments, and the importance of researching which professors get good and bad reviews. The youngest has been in school 2 days a week for a couple of months. She's funny and delightful and has brought home lice 2 times in the past month. We're dealing with it, but please don't share hats with my daughter unless you want to go through this lovely interlude too.
The hubby has been working from home but is starting to look for steadier work.
If you get a chance, watch for a sun break and go outside to breathe deeply. It did me good. I bet it will you too.

When you spoke about the lice the first time and then it was done, I thought, really? and started to write to warn you. Those nits are persistent and so tenacious. No matter how diligent Cindy and I were in our experiences, it took over 6 weeks to call house, family and everything in it, lice free! Everyone laughs when we won't share hats or hairbrushes, but once you live with it for so long, you truly don't want to do it again and most people don't get that until they have to do it too! UGH
