Today we relaxed a little.  It was quite a week with appointments and no help, but that is changing next week.  I have someone in to help each day next week, and on Saturday, I am running away for the night.  I have the Foreign Service Test next Friday, and David encouraged me to take Saturday and get away.  The new Health Care Aide service is going to have someone stay overnight with David, although, he really sleeps through, but it will make me feel better.  Anyone who is reading this, and who wants to come by on Saturday during the day or Sunday morning, please let me know, and it would be great if you could schedule a time to come and visit David while I am not here.  First come, first served!

I thought about going to DC or Philly or Boston, but have elected to just check into a hotel nearby, and read and sleep.  Actually, after some research on Philly, I think that for David’s birthday later in February, we are going to take an overnight trip to Philadelphia to see the Barnes Collection.  It was one of the options, and I would rather share that with David than go alone!

This morning Gail came and worked with David on the Neuro-feedback, and we had a nice chat afterwards about theatre and the prohibitive cost.  Then we had our Facetime chat with Alex, Claire and Theo, which is always great.  Theo is growing, and David is very anxious to get back out for a visit, but not sure if we will make it before we head to Napa in July – we will see if we can swing something.

After the call, I went to Uniqlo to get some thermal underwear for David.  He has been very cold, and Michal suggested we get some of their Heattech products.  David is very excited to try it out tomorrow when we head out in the morning.  I have to say, I felt very old going into the store, but picked up some great stuff, and good prices.  Picked up some chicken from Bon Chon on the corner, and we had a healthy lunch.

Continued to watch some more Law & Order: UK, which we are both liking, and looking forward to seeing Ripper Street.  It took a while before I figured out that the star of the show was Mr. Darcey from Pride and Prejudice.

Then, more of the adventures of Isaac and his storm – the family, save three daughters, are all gone, it seems – and object #39, the Admonitions Scroll.
