when Denny came back to Izzie. not exactly uplifting fare.
garbage night included bringing through the house the barrel of vines i trimmed last saturday talking on the cell phone in the backyard. didn't drop a one. it worked well because ketzl was outside. later he was running through the house again, and spotted a cat just outside the sliding glass door. big fluffy ketzl. hissing and spitting and pawing the glass. i stay away at those times, even when i'm wearing jeans. i still remember the time he bit me, but that was when he saw a raccoon.
elinor is getting ready to go back east for 9 days. i'm looking into different facilities up here for our dear sweet father to consider. well, for us to consider. there's a part of him that wants to be closer to us. but a move would be difficult in other ways. back to the mantra we had when considering bringing both parents up: if it were any easy decision, we would have made it already. still holds.
finishing the other half of the italian wedding soup. turned on the bed heater aka an electric mattress pad. makes it just a bit easier to get into bed, almost alone in the dark.
friends are so important.
