Last week was a tough one for me. I spent four days at my mom’s helping her with a variety of different things. The doctor’s appointment and various errands were easy and even fun. Working with her on bills and finances, which was the main reason I was there, proved to be extremely painful for both of us. The older Mom gets the scarier it is for her and for her kids. I feel like mortality is slapping me in the face and I can’t imagine what it’s like for her. On a happier note, the plane rides gave me a little extra reading time.

It’s Monday and the holidays are fully upon us. I love this time of year, especially when all my Christmas shopping is done. (And, it almost is thanks to a little shopping at the airport!) Last week was an extra busy one for me. On Wednesday I had to have a root canal. Fun! Fun! Fun! Actually, it wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. On Friday, I made a quick trip down to the Bay Area so I could spend a couple days with family and attend a memorial service for a really wonderful man, who also happened to be my uncle. It’s always sad, but he lived a great life and was a shining example of what a good man’s life looks like.

I finished rereading The Secret History by Donna Tartt on the plane ride down to California. This has long been one of my all time favorite books and I really wanted to see if it would hold up to the test of time. I’m happy to say, it did, but the second time around was definitely a different reading experience. …

Today almost feels like a holiday with all the hoopla surrounding the solar eclipse. Here in the Puget Sound area we’ll be treated to a near total eclipse at around 10:20 this morning, and I’m ready! While visiting family last week in Montana, I picked up a couple of pairs of viewing glasses. It’s a very good thing I did because there are none left to be found around here. My best friend, Meg (who I met on the first day of my freshman year of high school), is visiting and we’re all set for the viewing. Might even need to add a mimosa or two to the event. Oh, and I read a little last week, too!
