Two good meditations this morning. Always like doing those. It's a good way to start the day. I only wish I could get through every day maintaining the perspectives, but that's what there term 'practice' means, I guess. It's never-ending. The 2nd mediation was interrupted by a call from Kathy D that Linda had fallen, was ok but was being taken to Good Sam for evaluation. Tommy went to be with her, on his own accord. She was ok and he drove her back to SRC afterwards. She said he drove well. Lauren and I went at lunch, took a replenish of ice cream, and we waited for her to get her haircut so we could encourage her and help her with the wig made from Lauren's hair and the hat options we brought too. She did well. Launen made hot wings, they were excellent. I took a break from nightly wine as the GNO got punted which allowed me to clean a lot in advance of Jeri's visit tomorrow. Attended the Palo Alto Support Group. That went well and yet it drives home a degree of foreshadowing to hear some of their struggles. Linda's mentioned thinking it would be worth attending one if it would help her be less scared but the reality is it's a mixed bag, and I told her some people have positive stories and some have struggles. Ultimately, after next week, a long may change and I'm struggling with it. I'd not want to be removed from this experience but it's hard, and painful, especially under all these circumstances. It looks like Kathy may delay her trip out, which will be all the harder come Monday's appointment. I'm glad I'll have the day off. I'm glad I'll have some time w/Jeri and Jen this weekend. I'm glad to be able to do what I can, and the reality check this has all been for me is something I want to keep conscious of. Like the sand between my toes. Oh, and Lauren also made sugar cookies. Yum!
