Last night ended up being a really tough night. We had all been busy during the day trying to accomplish things. I am finding that things tend to take longer now for a variety of reasons. One being, things now need to be done online, that maybe didn't need to be done that way before. Another being, because of what I wrote above, our Internet is much slower than normal. For right now though, this is our new normal.
Our dinner consisted of frozen pizza, and then we just put in some episodes of "Friends". No one was really into it. We were all beginning to feel frayed, and it was showing. Right before bed, there were lots of tears and shouting. And then lots of hugs and "I'm sorry"'s. Poor Catherine is beginning to feel the gravity of the things she could (and in the case of prom, most likely will) lose. It is weighing on her.
I am trying so hard to remember to be grateful that our family has all of this time together. I am trying to remember so hard to be grateful that we are all healthy, and all of our extended family is healthy. I try so hard to portray that gratitude to the rest of the family in hopes that they will follow our lead. For the most part, that is exactly what is happening. We will get through this, and hopefully we will all be stronger when it is over.
