So, June is coming to a close and this will be my one and only post for it. Early in the month my mother passed away. She had been dealing with congestive heart failure for a full year after they told her that she had six months to live and hospice moved in. And then, they moved out. They reconnected just a few months ago as my mom began to have a harder and harder time rebounding from a couple of short hospital stints.
Most of the month was spent going between Southern California where she lived and Northern California where I live, helping my brother get things arranged for her memorial service and just talking things over in general.
In the middle of this my knee decided it was no longer interested in functioning properly and the pain has gone between annoying and excruciating for nearly three weeks. Right now the knee has settled into painful, and walking without a limp is a concentrated effort.
I plan on ignoring the remaining days of June and simply pretending it's already over and will start enjoying July now.
So, happy July!
