Not a fun day on Sunday!

We are going to my mother-in-law's apartment to go over what she has left and decide how to handle disposing of the contents. It's hard to believe that it was only two weeks ago that she was with us and we were all gathered around for her final day.

But, I have to admit that it has been helpful, especially for my wife, to talk to friends who have been through this before and can provide suggestions to make the transition from our "old" normal life to the "new" normal a little easier.

As for other activities, we bought a new microwave oven so that we don't have to worry about having to replace the old one after we put in our new tile backsplash. I also have some work to do for a neighbor and, in February, the friends who we went to dinner with tonight will return and pick out a new vanity which I will install for them. So, lots to do in the ensuing months which is the way that it should be.

I think that my eyes are getting better. They seem to start off pretty good in the morning and, then, as I keep throwing more and more stuff into them as the day wears on my right eye is not quite as clear as it was at the beginning of the day. However, I do feel that it is slowly improving - which is certainly a good sign.

Not much else to say at this point other than - go Patriots...
