I had a gorgeous day for a drive yesterday, and made very good time. My room is small, and awkwardly-shaped, but very nice. One thing about it is driving me crazy, though:
How do you not center a round table under a round light fixture? There's plenty of room --- it's sort of making me twitch. And, yes, I tried to move the table. It's cast iron and weighs a ton; I couldn't budge it even a teeny bit.
The main reason I came up early (Stitches starts tomorrow) was because today is my Daddy's birthday, and I wanted to go to the cemetery. It was tough --- I haven't been here in 3+ years. I'm skirting around the parts of town that would open the floodgates. My twinnie sent me a message a while back saying, ". . .you are strong and you can do this." I don't know how many times I've repeated that to myself even before I got here. And I sure said it a lot today. Thanks, Twinster --- you helped get me through it.
Before I left this morning (giving myself a day out to go places, see friends), I got word that my Uncle Tommy died yesterday. He was my mother's baby brother. All the arrangements aren't quite clear yet, but I know several plans for my stay are going to be changed.
I had to go for comfort food tonight:
Dry-rub ribs and collard greens.
