Sleep: soother of most things. I feel a good deal better after another solid night of shut-eye AND a phone chat with my mom. She was lucid again this morning; enough so to get up and tell my sister, "I really need a cup of coffee." When I called, she was sipping java; my aunt (who's visiting this week) was making her a bowl of strawberries and milk; and my sister was practically jumping up and down with happiness. She handed the phone to Mom and we talked about everyday things: what I'm doing this weekend, whether her sister's dad was out of the hospital yet, how the morning was going, the possible whereabouts of a silver ring she's misplaced. We ended with our usual I love you's, and I felt like my morning had been limned with gold.
Today, along with my work duties, I must attend to my bill-paying. Most of it I accomplish through automatic payments. But there are a few that I still take care of manually, and they've gone by the wayside. Time to eliminate those stressors.
The hunky scientist and I are going out for an extravagant meal tonight at a restaurant he heard about. Appetizer through dessert, it's going to be a heck of a bill. But we haven't had that kind of a date in a long time, and we're due.
