Daily Notes- April 15th

Two Chairs For Company.

It's been "a morning" of riding a roller coaster of emotions.  Too personal to delve into here.  But now I understand fully "having the rug pulled out from under your feet".

Riley is tired today.  He had another episode because we had rain and thunder last night.  I medicated him and stayed with him until his eyes lost focus and then went back to bed. I think it was well past midnight.  He still looks medicated this morning but no drooling or unfocused movements.  No panic. It really wears him out.

Daughter came by with a gift of cactus dahlias for G and I.  Orange and yellow for him and shades of pink for me.  I'll plant his in a container near his workshop so he can see them as he goes in and out. My pink ones will go near the front steps.  I usually plant something both pink and yellow on the back deck where we both sit on warm summer days (after the sun is blocked by the tall pines).  It's lovely that pink and yellow look so nice together especially with some pale blues and whites. The dahlias look nice and healthy--already seeing white roots in the packages.

Busier week than usual for me. Today I went to an appointment with G and was going to the library but it's closed for the "holiday" (Patriots Day).  Strange that the post office is delivering mail.  Tomorrow is a free day so far.  Walking on Wednesday.  Haircut on Thursday and teaching two classes on Saturday.  Sunday is Easter.

I never got down to the sewing room to add the fourth strip of multi colored squares to the pink project.  I should do that now.  But I am so darned sleepy.

I might just join Riley in a mid afternoon nap.  G has gone to exchange the door lock set he bought.  It wasn't what he needed. I think this is the third one he has bought and had to return.
