Update

This afternoon the funeral home person came. I was upstairs and only came down when he left. Robbie will be cremated {which is what she requested} and there will be a memorial which she had already planned in detail a week from today. I will not be here and that is fine with me.

I am SO ready to go home!

Today I went to town with my niece, Tabitha. She had a shopping list. I didn’t. For a person who didn’t have a list, I came home with a bag full of stuff! I bought a big black zip-up-the-front sweater {on sale} at Marks and Spencers. I got a really nice light sweater from a charity shop for a really good price. I spent too much on a scarf because I liked the colors. I bought myself some bulls eyes {candy} because I loved them when I was a kid. I bought three books to read on the journey home and have already started one

Have I mentioned I am ready to go home?

Victor wants me to put together a letter to send to all their friends to tell them when Robbie’s memorial service will be. I have to get more details than I have now but we will work on it together. If the service is really a week from today, they had better go in the mail tomorrow!

Fred sent me pictures of my table which is almost finished! All he has to do is to put in the drawers on the sides…

Today’s pedometer reading is 11,232.

 I went for two walks and Tabitha dragged me up and down hills in the shopping area! It was actually fun. I haven’t spent any time with her since she was a baby. {She is 36 now—I was SO surprised!} I asked her to pick out a piece of jewellery and I would buy it for her. She chose a very pretty little locket. I wanted to buy her a chain but she said she has lots of chains at home. She will be going home tomorrow. Her husband is coming for her. But she will be back later in the week.

{This is where I should mention I am ready to go home, right?}

I wash clothes and pack on Saturday and I leave here early on Sunday morning and fly out of Bristol at 11:18 am.
