I deleted my previous post I wrote when I was angry since it kind of contradicts what I said in the seecond and I 've kind of decided.
I just want some kind of break you something to go where I dont' feel like i'm just constantly fighting for the just a small amount of ..something.
Busy day today. ltc had the opening parade for softball this morning, then tested for (and earned!) her yellow belt in karate, and now we’re at her first softball game.
Go ltc! That is a busy day. Well done.
She loved the softball game. They're not scoring the games at this level. They play three innings, every kid gets to bat either by coach pitching or off the t, each kid bats every inning and runs to base. It was adorable watching them all try to figure out what they were supposed to be doing.
Yay for the good news, JenP!
sj, while it's maybe kind of weird to be grateful for something like hospice given the circumstances that necessitate it, I was thankful that I was able to be present for my cousin's passing a few years ago and that he got to go in peaceful surroundings with loved ones gathered around him.
I am very very grateful for hospice, Matt. I want my Papa’s pain to be minimized as much as possible, and they’re doing that with an amazing amount of kindness. It’s a lovely facility that doesn’t feel like a sterile hospital setting.

Excellent! That's such a smart approach.
Hec, we're going to encourage ltc to try to hit the pitched ball rather than the t today. They pitch to them 3 times, and if they don't hit the ball, they can use the t to hit. She picked the t the first two times at bat yesterday and was pitched to in her third at bat, hitting the ball on the third pitch.
I'm not going to the game today because I had a hair appointment booked before I knew the game schedule, and I'm not waiting another month to get an appointment if I have to reschedule. I haven't had my hair done in ages.
ltc woke up crying again about Papa. She wants to go see him after school tomorrow, which my mother things is a terrible idea. I think we're going to take her anyway. If she gets too upset she can go to the waiting room with one of us.
Kiddie sports are such a treat to watch.
Major accomplishment of the day was successful installation of my sister's ring doorbell which I gave her for her birthday yesterday. Chances are she has a list of handyman stuff on a list for me. I always tell her to jot it down when she thinks of something and give me a list when I visit.
