Tammy left a message for me to call her at home in Connecticut. She and Mark drove back up from Florida. Mom’s not in the hospice. I guess it had something to do with her insurance as well as what she wanted, according to Tammy, who says mom’s out of it most of the time anyway. Nonetheless, she’s now in a nursing home and her prognosis is still not good. She still has that same infection and her kidneys are still messed up. I continue to have mixed emotions about the whole thing too, and well, I’m not going to get into that right now. I haven’t talked to Mom and I guess that’s not possible where she is. Tammy’s been in touch with her doctors and nurses, but that’s about it for now. Nothing more anyone can really do but try to keep her comfortable till the end.

Tom got to take the day off today thanks to a downed tree blocking the drive out toward the road. It was a good opportunity to catch up on his rest. He relapsed during the week and never got fully over his cold. I don’t hear him coughing as much, so I guess that’s a good sign.

Even though I slept about 10 hours, I crashed for a few more hours after I’d been up for a few hours. I was doing a massive cleanup within my photo files when all of a sudden I felt tired and dizzy. So I went to lie down but didn’t want to fall asleep due to having clothes in the washer, even though I did anyway. I was worried they’d be wrinkled, but they weren’t.

Our lone bamboo plant is sprouting a new stalk down by the roots, I was surprised to see. I’ve had this plant since Oregon.
