Patience
Had a good morning but a sad afternoon. One of my sisters passed today.
Wow so sorry to hear about that…. You are in our prayers!
 
Great honestly! I was able to do the second hardest grade we have at our climbing gym (we grade climbs on a V scale in the states. Our gym does V0-V10 (rarely we set a V11) so I did a V9 today. Pretty proud of that!
Way to go!

Sorry Tom. Going to be a tough holiday for you. I hope you are able to remember the happy memories of her through the holidays.
 
How was everyone's day?
I finally got my mom out of the hospital into the nursing home today. They moved her into the new place yesterday evening and I couldn't talk to her because she hadn't signed her admission papers yet. Im "basically " an only child so it's daunting. Sorry about what you've had to deal with lately. Losing a friend like that, bruises your soul.

I did end up cooking some fish though, so the day ended better than it started. Lol
