I walked with Lauren again this morning, and I will likely do so every day this week to keep up on the health benefits. It was a busy workday, but I took some time in the afternoon to grab six more bottles of the 2015 Raymond Vineyards Zinfandel before getting Lauren after school. She drove us to see her mom and back. She did very well; she improved over yesterday. I'm confident that daily outings will further build her skills and confidence. Our visit with her mom was an upsetting one. Linda was asleep, and at first, we could not wake her. Lauren managed to do so by opening one of her eyes. She then opened both eyes and looked at both of us, individually, absolutely looking us each in the eye. She attempted to speak but could not. Her breathing was deep and seemingly labored, almost panicked. I realize there's no way of knowing for sure, but I know her well enough to categorize the look in her eyes as deep sadness and upset. As soon as I saw that, and slight tears welling up, I just wanted her to go back to sleep. It made me feel bad for having awoken her, as the act was for us, not for her. Lauren kissed her on the cheek, and Linda returned the kiss onto Lauren's. She eventually started into the distance, her eyes closed, and she fell back asleep. After today I will not attempt to wake her at all; again, I want to let her have her peaceful rest. Once home, we got online to play cards with the usual gang, but the online app failed to function, so we just talked and caught up before leaving to take Lauren to work. We stopped at Costco to pick up supplies for keto enchiladas and lasagna, which Jen made tonight. We also picked up some 100% grass-fed steaks, something I have had and enjoyed in the past. I prep'd them for sous vide next week with Matt B.
