Highlights: A rainy and cloudy morning and afternoon at home. Lauren came down again, drove solo, in the rain, without issue. I aggressively reorganized several cupboards throughout the house, including above the stove, the spices and the hallway meds/stationary stuff. That took most of the day, but it was way overdue. I succeeded in getting mom's appointments back in place after a rescheduling snafu.
Insights: David & I had a good text exchange acknowledging this would have been Dad's 92nd birthday, and also touched on age, wisdom, perspective and more. It seems like we've found a common thread, a middle ground of sorts, through which we're able to inspire and support one another. I'm enjoying this time and evolution. Maybe a road trip is needed, in one direction or another.
