this was the other day.  my cousin took this pic

yesterday was so wonderful.  I was able to spend most of the day visiting with my Grandma Frances.  My aunt had brought her down with her, and she was helping my mom with some stuff most of the day, and Lauren brought my Grandma over here so we could visit.  It was so wonderful.  She told us all sorts of experiences from her life.  Mostly stories I hadn't heard in decades and didn't remember.  She wasn't in any big hurry to leave either which made it really nice.  Only down side, I didn't get to see my aunt, so I hope next time we will have a chance to visit.

I didn't stay up late, but I had the worst time getting up this morning.  My muscles and joints are really flared up today.   It isn't like I was doing anything special that would cause this. I am going to have to go do something about it though.

EO is going to go up to see Jason this afternoon.  Jay is out of the ICU and can have visitors for short visits.  although he is still having trouble talking and his kidneys haven't kicked in yet, he has been given food and he is thrilled about that.  I look forward to hearing the report about how it went today.  EO is driving Bill up there. so that will also give him a chance to see his mom too.  EO hasn't been able to see his mom since Monday.  It was just a busy work week for EO. 

Ok, there are a couple corrections, Steph has to go in Monday to Panera, that is when she will find out when she is starting.  Also, when Steph told me over the phone about the interview, she was just giving me the "cliff notes" version.  Yesterday I found out how the whole thing really went down.
