Nine days ago, our world changed when my stepfather suddenly passed away. He had been fighting lymphoma when a chemo session hit him too hard to battle, and we lost him. He was one of the best men I have ever met, full of art and music and kindnessh and a bit of mischief too. This has been a rough week for all of us, particularly my mother.
In times like these, I crave routine and schedules and lists. This is how I function. I am a creature of habit. For me, it is easier to cope with things when I have a plan. So, today we start easing our way back to sort of normal. Things will be different and changed and there is so much to do, but today we slowly try to find our rhythms again, making space for all the differences and grief we are feeling in our hearts.
Reading This Week:
Lake of the Ozarks: I am all about the tourist kitsch and summertime attractions, so I am really interested in reading this book!
Watching:
Not anything new. Just old Criminal Minds and Monty Don.
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
Oh I’m sorry to hear about your stepfather. All my condolences!
Lake of the Ozarks- I love that retro travel look.

I’m so sorry. I love my lists and they help me stay focused to get done the priorities instead of drifting off into whatever is interesting. Happy reading!
