I got up and got going on my day on time, allowing Lauren to sleep in a bit later than our usual departure for school since that's off the table for the next week+. But dog sitting isn't. It was raining and windy, so instead of walking them, we nudged that out and hit LGCafe for some ham steaks n eggs. I love that place. It's been a staple throughout my life longer than most any other place I can think of, and consistently. I will admit that I didn't do shit for work today. I failed in that regard, so I will press twice as hard tomorrow and dig in and focus. What I did do, though, was rewarding. We were allowed back in to see Linda. I was livid that Tommy parked in the no parking space between the handicapped spaces. Whatever makes him think that is ok in any way is beyond me. I can see wincing through the logic that it's less likely to be needed at, say, Sharks Ice, but a medical care facility? Come on. We clashed about it when Lauren and I got in, but it was all set aside when we got into her room and got to spend time together. She was as she has been, no significant apparent change, but the kids and, particularly this time, Tommy, were very loving to her. So much so that he responded to her, saying that she wanted a burger by getting her one. And then, he fed it to her, bite after messy bite. I was and am moved by this. With all of the history and conflict in their past, this showed a degree of compassion I know he has within him. Even though he somehow feels he has got a right to treat me like shit for reasons I'll likely never understand or deserve, at least he's had a chance for redemption, and she wasn't just gone the next day without that closure. Later in the afternoon, Lauren and I walked Abby and Lucy, returned to Matson, Jen and Lauren got some snacks, and watched "Spiderman Homecoming" before going to the new one Wednesday. I'm not a big fan, but it was entertaining all the same. I am ending the day by starting "To Kill A Mockingbird" with Jen. Hopefully. I'm up writing and fear she's fallen asleep waiting for me.
