Cake and Iced Tea
I woke up late because I stayed up late. I’m still tired. But I joked to Stephanie that this was like shooting myself in the foot and then complaining that my foot hurts. I’m awake and have eaten a little so far. Cake and iced tea for breakfast. I need to make better choices if…

Coming Home
Stephanie was released from the hospital this afternoon. She got a shower and so did I. The boys were happy to finally see mama again, and she has much better luck getting the cats into the house than I do. She went to bed early and the boys and I are settling down. Here’s to…

Hospital Day 2
Stephanie will be staying in the hospital at least one more night. She is resting comfortably but may need to stay longer. The doctor will decide that in the morning. I was able to go in and see her and brought a charging cord so any of you that know her contact information can wish…
