Monday's Musings

Blog wise, this is a tough day, as I drive home later and need to create the post before I leave, and I don't always have the full day's events. So, I'm sitting in one of the sun rooms watching the rain come down. Tim is off with, and has been with since around noon, Brigette and Nora. Just enjoying their presence and conversation. Amy and I did fit in a few minutes to go through today's mail - including cards from Aunts Merrilyn and Donna from down in North Carolina, the hardware Baldwins, Aunt Gladys, Steve A. and Meghan B. Uncle Bob called in from Virginia. He also enjoyed a box of Maine taffy from Dee (to share with the staff) and an Eagle article on Dr. Brotman from BMC.

One neat story to tell: when Amy went back to his room shortly after the toe news, she found Tim very animated - laughing and joking with Maggie, one of his PT's and the subject was a picture in Regina's collage - specifically the photo of him skiing in his lifeguard uniform. It was great to hear that.

As we get settled in to bi-coastal living, we've been bringing some groceries and household products with us to Boston. They make the trip in some very stylish & cool shopping bags designed and given to us by Seth at BlueQ. We've never met, but they arrived at our house and are in use! We actually take the long walk to the apartment so that everyone on Beacon Hill can admire them! Thank you.

So, I'm back home now. The day ended pleasantly enough. Tim was ready for his first take out order of General Tso's Chicken and the neighborhood Chineses restaurant is the only one in America that does not carry it! They offer some sort of nonsense called General Gau's Chicken which features ginger and misses the point entirely. Must be some sort of territorial thing. Tim settled for boneless ribs and Sesame Chicken and enjoyed it immensely.

Tim had another visitor, Emily, towards the end of the day and we learned that she will be attending UMASS Boston, which is good news. Tim's starting to make big plans to leave the property and is already talking about a field trip to the Berkshires, hopefully before the school year starts.
