Today involved driving to Lebanon, NH with our new roommate, where we learned that yes, she is a good candidate for a procedure that we all think will improve the quality of her life. So great, so wonderful, so relieved. Monstro had BK all day and Lex after preschool and still managed to cook us a delicious “congratulations/welcome home” dinner. And, I learned that the best thing to bring to a hospital if you need to kill time is a pink ukulele and about eight pieces of sheet music. Could've used more music, actually, but at least I had plenty of time to practice my finger-pickin' on “Gentle on my Mind,” a song I don't think I've heard since I was four years old and traveling on the back roads of Forest, North Carolina. Praise Jesus!
