Highlights: A call from Lauren, striving to help me align expectations with understanding regarding her brother. I love her good intentions. Moms' lab work and follow-up went well, but it took a long time. My book work, that of gathering, outlining and organizing, continues. It's a densely packed effort filled with vastly complicated characters. It's moving along well, though. I am working on it daily and maintaining my focus. We learned today that Scottie's ashes are ready for pickup. I balked at going to get them tonight. It's too soon and too familiar a place to return to at night again.
Insights: My brother once quipped that, after two failed marriages and during a struggle in his third, he realized what the common denominator was. Him. Sometimes I wonder what part I play in the struggles I attribute to others. Right alongside realizing that my opinion never carries the weight for others that I might attribute to it.
