edenfallingWe have decided, after much discussion, to leave around 8am tomorrow morning instead of around noon as we'd initially planned. This will give my dad more time to be around and hopefully be of some use as emotional support to my aunt, though there is nothing physical anyone can do at this point. (Well, maybe start packing up her apartment?)
ETA, 2:30pm -- my Uncle Bob was taken off the ventilator this morning and died around 12:30pm. We are still going down to the Twin Cities very early Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, this morning my mom, my dad, their dog, and I hiked around Lake Windigo (the lake in the center of Star Island -- yes, that makes it a lake within a lake). Now we are going to have chicken and barley soup for lunch, after which we plan to sit on the dock for a bit and maybe put highlighted streaks in my mom's hair. (I confess I do not see the point of that, but she likes the effect of dishwater blond mixed in with slightly graying brown.)
While my parents are down on the dock, I plan to see if our wireless internet connection is robust enough for me to stream Heroes episodes from Hulu, because they are currently offering five episodes per week, changing each Wednesday, and therefore I won't be home in time to see the fifth of this week's offerings if I cannot watch it here.
Stupid television shows. Visual media stories are so much less convenient than written ones.
