We all slept a little later than usual today. Monica was feeling pretty good and was able to enjoy her meals. With Daniel gone, Jesse away and Marley studying hard for her Mcat (she wrote a test exam for 5 hours today), the house was pretty quiet.
I worked around the yard quite a bit today. Ron Turner and his sister, Judy, came by for a visit. It was nice to see them. The weather cooperated and we were able to relax on the patio and have some watermelon. Monica did seem more tired today and napped a couple of times.
It is nice when Monica and I can open up and share some of our deeper feelings, fears etc. It doesn't happen all the time and can't seem to be forced ( the moments are sometimes just not right). We had a couple of those moments today. On the one hand, I don't like to see her upset (she is used to seeing me upset with my genetically-flawed tear ducts). However, on the other hand, I am grateful for those moments when she is able to express some of those feelings to me and the kids.
Marley is really gearing up now for the Mcat. She will be glad, I think, when it is done. I know she is looking forward to visit from her boyfriend, Ross, who arrives in Seattle on the 8th of July.
We are now worrying more than normal about Oma and Opa. On top of her other health issues, Oma now has a rectal prolapse (?not sure about the spelling) to deal with and is in quite a bit of pain.
