Another full day with an increased focus on Panorama due to Linda's sister's arrival tonight. I juggled work tasks and interviews and such while taking on a slew of items with the kids help, at times even voluntarily and aggressively. I contacted the construction company when I realized that much of the crap in the garage was contents put there during the remodel, but not removed. They're going to send somebody out tomorrow or Friday to resolve that and flooring tape residue, too. I'm gonna try to get them to take a few other things as well. Cash in hand might help. Hauled it all out to centralize it. Cleared the rest of the crap out of her car, got it washed, looks fantastic now. Left her passwords book where Lauren found it, having already told Kathy about it. Tommy gave me shit about not letting him drive it. Didn't have time or interest to argue. He's been unpredictable lately. This is getting to him and he's trying to stay busy elsewhere. Lauren was so helpful throughout the day with cleaning up, folding laundry, getting into closet door groves. Mark came to help w/the closet doors, so grateful for his assistance. Sure they're baseline doors but they do the job. Ordered Happy Hound and hung on the patio. Continued with cleaning until we had everything really reasonably ready. I even washed vases in antiiciatiopn of flowers. I've got some additional stuff I want to tackle tomorrow including door jams and vent filters. Jen made the most awesome soup: Broccoli Cheddar Bacon. It's sounding more and more like Linda's getting either overwhelmed with contact, or struggling with her situation and fears, or having continued memory or impulse issues. Lauren brought up her meds which I removed for satefy reasons. We went through and looked at the bottles to understand what she was taking. It's sad and upsetting to realize now that what was seemingly behavioral issues we'd associated to medications was a tumor. It's tragic, and may remain tragic. I'm deeply saddened by the prospect of the upset and fear and struggles that await her. Next week will be like living that 1st week we learned over again, this time being her full exposure and understanding as we work to best support her through it. I'm deeply grateful for Jennifer. She knows me so well and is sad for her, wants to help with food and would willingly go help in person too, and she supports my involvement in this. I got 8 more keys made to have on hand for giving to caregiver friends and neighbors as necessary. Kathy arrived this evening and we saw her briefly as we dropped off a blanket and Lauren kindly thought to put the air purifier I'd found a few days ago, into the room she's occupying. I'm hoping she has a pleasant night and that there's nothing about the house that works against her being able to stay for long stretches as needs warrant.
