Up early. Off to the gym. Then to walk the pups. Found Rob and Betty in the process of walking the kids. Rob was so tired, I sent him back home to rest. Returned home and then to work. Deadline tomorrow night. Mom was up when I returned home from the gym. No rest for the weary. Calls while I worked from Mark D. (the clinic is in need of new shrubs), Bob H. (question about an abstract I put together), and Betty (Charlie is fixing the leak and she’s getting a new sink in the process). So I took an enforced break. Had some tea and some raisin bread—speaking of which, there was a hard boiled egg in one of them. An Easter design, just like my grandmother Guiseppina (dad’s mom) used to make. I asked mom if she remembered dad’s mom. She does not. Then I asked her if she remembered her own mother. She does not. Says it was too long ago. How sad it must be not to remember your own mother.
