Sleep?

[debboamerik]

I am still tired, but not as tired or discouraged as I was last night. Napping helped. They messed up Denyce's biopsy, so she has to go in again. She's trying so hard to be herself - loving, kind, fun - but it's almost impossible for her with all the pain she's in. I'm going to try to bring her pie on Wednesday. Maybe it'll give her a few good moments.

This was a good weekend. dindin came over for dinner and a movie, always good fun and good company. We had a barbecue on Saturday, just us plus papertigers's brother and niece, and klaughingbrook and her two daughters, plus two of my nephews. The kids loved it and had a great time. The red wagon got a lot of use. The corn was really good. The homemade barbecue sauce is addictive. Afterwards, we went to Rockville for fireworks. The weather was perfect. Yesterday we went to a pool party in Dundalk. It was quieter than last year, mostly people I already know and like, so I felt less overwhelmed than last year - more relaxed. I had a better time. However, I was falling asleep on papertigers's arm by about seven, so we went home and saw singsomelyrical on the way. Her husband got some cake for me. I approve of him.

klaughingbrook says that the pie I made for July 4th was the highlight of her weekend. I can believe it; she spent most of the weekend helping Denyce and dealing with one schizophrenic and one bipolar relative, not to mention all the kids. I should make more pie. Pie for everyone!
