Concern Not Smothering

First I just want to thank you all for the kind notes. Believe it or not I have been on here almost daily reading all of your diaries but I am a horrible noter 🙂

I had a mild dust up with my mom the other day. She thought I was smothering her by asking 4 times if she was ok. First off if your mother, who  just lost her husband, spent the day boxing up all his stuff calls you with what sounded like tears in her voice and tells you that nothen is wrong well you might be a little concered. She said she just had a runny nose. I said ok fine I will not ask next time I will just wait for her to come to me if something is wrong or if she wants to talk…

I think we are all in that bad time after a death. Where nothen you do or say is right or even feels right. When I am alone I just escape into my books. I am on target to beat my total books read from last year. Last year was the first real year that I kept track of how many I read. I started counting on Oct. 1, 2008 and finished on same date 2009 with 86 books read. I am currently at 79 and 1/2 with almost 6 full weeks left. I figure I will be around 90 maybe 92 when I am done. As long as I stay away from 700+ page books.
