Mommy skipped yoga tonight to go to the ALS Support Group meeting. She hardly ever goes anymore because they're on her Tuesday workout nights, but this one was an important one on caregiving, and she was asked to speak. There were a few new clients, some old ones. Though it shook her up a bit talking about caring for Grandpa, she is hoping some of what she and others' shared was helpful. It was a stressful time. It could have been less stressful, but it wasn't. Talking about it just brought all those memories (good and bad) back.

When we came home this afternoon, Mommy noticed Stewart's stuff all strewn about. It's not like him to leave his tools laying around. We played in the house for an hour, then we heard someone out on the deck. Mommy checked and it was Stewart. He was back around 4:30 pm, which was odd. She asked how come he came back. Apparently, he had to go to the doctor because while he was pulling some of the old railing off, one of those rusty sharp nails got stuck in his forearm and his arm started swelling up! The guy is so crazy though that after a doctor's visit and a Band-aid, he ordered more lumber and came back to carry a 24 foot post down 90 stairs, in addition to putting all of his tools away. He's nuts.

I am sure that blustery in Hawaii is a whole lot different than blustery in Green Bay. I am sitting here at my parents' computer with a down vest on and a blanket wrapped around my legs and 2 pairs of socks on my feet. Every once in a while the wind blows snow off the roof and it looks pretty against the blue sky, but not too inviting. I have managed to get my one and only winter cold but still and all I am enjoying my visit with relatives.
