9:31 a.m.

Can't say as I mind getting out in the morning to take the boys to school. The photo above is taken from where I park the van to let Emil out to wait for the bus; the one below is in the parking lot of Everett's school. He figured he was pretty smart, getting a picture of me from the back seat.

I'm off to spend the day with Mom, who has been having "a funny feeling; not pain exactly" in her chest and torso for the past three days. Whatever it is, it's enough to be distressing for her and whoever's with her. We are trying another adjustment to her medication. The doctor told Dad to do whatever he thinks because Dad is as likely to discover the successful dose and frequency as the doctor is.

And it's the weekend! Woo hoo! Why do I love Fridays so? It's not as if I have a strict schedule during the week, or big plans for Saturday night. Must be old habit. But today I'll pick up movies for myself and Everett (Emil prefers to sit in his bedroom and listen to his Valdy or Neil Young CDs these days) and we'll sit up tonight and enjoy each other's company.

Should get back down here to the pool table. Will be losing the tiny gains I was beginning to make.

And now that the weather's warming up, maybe I should get the hot tub filled and ready to go. I just can't get excited about it. Maybe if Cathy was coming to visit, or Scott was here, the thing would get some use. But by myself, I can't imagine sitting out there enough to make it worthwhile heating.

Off to brush my teeth and bolt out the door. Looks like another beautiful day in Kelowna.
