We were unable to have any family memorial day celebrations. My parents had to drive to the western edge of Montana to attend my aunt's funeral, just days after returning from eastern Minnesota for my brother's graduation from guitar building and repair school. My aunt died suddenly and for unknown reasons. She had been diagnosed with cancer of the liver and breast, but that is not what killed her. An autopsy is underway. With this going on, a planned visit to my parents' house was cancelled to give them a rest.
Eric's family was equally unavaible. Two of Eric's nieces graduated from high school this weekend. One had the car packed and was ready to move right after the ceremony on Sunday. Eric's mom also found herself unavailable. She wound up in the hospital with pneumonia. She has been there since Thursday evening. Eric is not allowed to visit her as has a suppressed immune system. This was decided by the hospital staff. Eric's mom has been recieving IV antibiotics, oxygen, and fluids. So, we wish her swift recovery.
So, we went to Sam's Club and bought eight pounds of cheese. I bought new flip-flops since Norris chewed mine up. He stole them right from under me while Eric and I were watching a movie. I went to use the bathroom and tapped my feet all over the floor feeling for my shoes in the dark... no shoes. I found one of them in Norris's bed, teeth marked and all. We cleaned up Eric's man cave a bit. Threw some garbage away, hung some shelves, and watched Seven Pounds with Will Smith. I cried like a baby and Eric mocked me. Fun for all.
