Done Since 2021-04-25

Colleen is still in rehab. Prestige has gone considerably downhill since the last time she was there; very short-staffed especially on weekends (with a response time occasionally measured in hours), and the kitchen seems to be totally unable to give her something she can eat (low fiber, mainly, which precludes beans, corn, and many vegetables; and low acid, which precludes most things containing tomatoes and fresh fruit). She's lost a lot of weight. With luck she'll be coming home this week. With luck that will be before Snohomish County drops back to Phase 2 and I stop being able to visit.

With luck she'll be home in time to celebrate Mother's Day with N and her kids. With luck I'll be able to take care of her. This week has been stressful despite my having very little to do.

Taxes are going more slowly than I'd like, and so is $writing-project. It's easy to blame the stress of Colleen being in rehab (and hospital before that), but that isn't really the problem, and I know it.

Now that we're all fully vaccinated our housekeeper, L', was finally able to come in and clean inside the house -- huge improvement, although a few things have migrated to odd places. It's amazing how much crud accumulates on the floor in the course of a year.
