Anniversary

Time flies.  It's hard to imagine, but today is the one year anniversary of the death of Joe's dad and the six year anniversary of the death of his mom.  I remember what a terrible time it was a year ago.  All of the fighting.  All of the tears.  All of the name calling and hard feelings.  (Take a look back at last year's entries if you don't know what I am talking about.)  At that time I thought it would never end. That it would always be bad.  But time heals a lot of things.  Even so, it was a sad day.  And a hard one.

I had such a nice long sleep last night.  I really needed it after having almost nothing the night before.  I felt so good when I got up this morning, but I missed the sunrise.  Oh well.  By the way, here is the sunrise I wanted to show you yesterday.  I found my camera in my bed.  How did it get there?

I went into work late today because I took Joe to the doctor's for his regular visit.  With all his ailments he has to see several specialists on a regular basis.  Sometimes someone else will take him, but other times I just want to be the one to go with him.  It's according which doctor he is seeing.  But I especially wanted to be with him today.


His appointment was for 11:00 a.m. but the doctor was running late and he didn't get in until 11:30.  The doctor took a lot of time with him, so we didn't get out until noon.  Then we had to get something to eat.  So I didn't get in to work until 2:00 p.m.  I worked until 5:00 p.m. so I had a 3 hour day.  I could get used to 3 hour days.  Ha, ha.  

Because Diane had been on the front desk for four hours, I took the next two hours and then Marquita came in for the last hour.  Even so, I got an awful lot accomplished.  I finally finished the filing that I've been doing for the last 6 months, ever since I took over Donna's job.  I can actually see my desk now!  I still have some more sorting to do of some paperwork, but the worst is over with.  Hooray!


We went food shopping tonight.  We were out of everything so it was a little expensive.  But we haven't been in three weeks, so I guess it's not that bad.  Joe had gone to Bible Study.  I picked him up at 8:30 p.m. and we headed to the store.  I was surprised.  The parking lot was pretty empty and we were able to park pretty close to the front door.  The store was pretty empty too.  And there were no lines to check out.  We even got a bagger.  So we have decided to go every Wednesday night after Joe's study.


Enough of my ramblings for tonight.  More tomorrow.
