Lauren's apartment.  The lower set of windows is their apartment.  The big window is the living room and to the right, the smaller window is Lauren's room.  Ma's window is on the side of the building.  They are right next to the door to go in and out, so that will be super nice and very handy for them.  I was actually in the parking lot at the Villa Marina which was right behind me.  So the view out the living room and Lauren's room faces the Villa.

My temp did go to 102 last night, but a few hours later, it broke.  So today, no fever.  My headache is gone... well, not including the sinus one I have from allergies or the weather, or both.  

Yeap, more snow, mixed with ice for us today.  I would love to be spared that though, because right now, the snow is melting, WAHOOO!  

Today is EO's last trip to town.  Well... The last time he is taking my mom to town for doc apts and shopping.  He will be for emergency back up only from here on out.  But between Lauren, Auntie BRae and Anne... and the various programs that will take her around... they shouldn't need EO anymore.  Then he is all mine muwahahahaha!  ok, so no, I will still share him with his family and with the apts.  But even there, Colton will be helping us a lot with the apartments.

Yesterday... Poor EO... poor poor poor EO...
we have taken care of the apartments from the first day it opened, back in August '93.  We can't even count anymore how many people have moved in and out of that complex.  He stopped in to drop some boxes off, and the mother of one of the tenants was there, frantic, she had been trying since the night before to reach her daughter.  The mother had been pounding on her door... all indications were something was wrong, so with the approval of her mother, they went to open the door... it would only open a few inches, but they could see her.  The M.E. said she had a massive heart attack and passed away.

EO was trying to consoul the mom.  They got the paramedics there, other family members there, the sheriff, M.E. and then the funeral home.  

EO had to stay until they got everything finished up.  It was just more than he really needed to deal with right now. There was one man who had lived there who died while in the hospital, but this was totally different. I think too was, I have some of the same health problems and on some of the same meds as that woman who died.  And even more, he is mourning his mom, she may not have passed, but he is loosing her, so his nerves are terribly raw right now.

I just hope he can push yesterday from his mind... (i know until the new system, you can't unsee what he went through) but I am hoping the next few extremely busy days will distract him from what happened.  I understand my aunt was there helping EO and the "mom".  

I feel so bad for the family, because now they have to go through all her stuff and empty her apartment.  And because it is the end of the month, the main office was pushing for the family to get it emptied by the first.  that is only... what 5 days? it just seems so cold that they would be like that, but then, they have never been warm and snugly.  

One reason we didn't want to have the luncheon here at the house, was because we knew the place would be full of boxes everywhere and the driveway a bit cramped from the snow.  But, that is the situation.  Today, I am going to clean my bedroom so that we can put the boxes in our room for the luncheon.  Cause right now, they are all over the dinning room, living room, hallway... and everywhere in between. So I better get at it. no more delays... no more putting it off...no more excuses... no more, "no mores".  So here I go!
