You may have grandchildren/great granchildren some day studying this period and can read how you coped. I love your beautiful back yard!

I'm glad you're enjoying This Is My Brain In Love—it sounds great! The slideshow your mother's home is putting on is a great idea! And I'm sorry your husband had to go in to have surgery—that's especially unpleasant right now! Thanks for the great post, as always!

And that was one reason I stopped taking melatonin years ago -- the other reason was it only guaranteed me four hours of sleep and then I'd feel groggy all day! You're the first one who mentioned the little tar creature. Yes! I see a heron too. My husband had to drive himself because I don't drive since my second rupture, and asking a friend to drive him would mean being closer than six feet. He'd called and asked ahead of time if he would be okay to drive himself home and they assured him he would! That must be frustrating for your sister not being able to visit her husband in the hospital or hear what the doctors are saying. Can't the doctors call her? I'm sorry you can't write yet. Hope it comes back eventually. Thanks for your kind words, Rosi. Joanne R.

I take melatonin so I have pretty weird dreams anyway. I like your little tar creature. Looks like a heron to me. How awful that your husband's surgery took so long. And he had to drive himself? Wow. My brother-in-law is in the hospital with some heart issues and my sister can't visit him or directly hear what the doctors are saying. Very frustrating. I'm glad you have found a book you are loving and that you are getting some writing done. That's great. I just can't write. Keep on keepin' on. I am enjoying the diary.Rosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294774973863802821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-36974579125028533292020-04-29T19:54:25.451-04:002020-04-29T19:54:25.451-04:00Jess, so sorry you've been having weird dreams...Jess, so sorry you've been having weird dreams.
