It was a good day. Yesterday I was in the ER with a kidney stone. Today the pain is mostly gone but it isn't over yet. I pulled myself together and went with the family to plant flowers on some family grave stones before Memorial Day. We met with my aunt (today is her birthday), some cousins, and their partners. It wasn't the quite the experience it usually is. The day had the reality of the world we live in now. The face masks, inability to be close, and hug ones family will continue to wear on me until this is over. When it is over, how hard will it be to take off that mask? Only time will tell.
We didn't plant on as many stones as usual. There was a closed bridge that would have added about an hour to the task for one cemetery. My aunt wasn't feeling up to doing another one. It has been determined that flowers are super expensive. Once the garden is planted, I hope to try growing geraniums on my own. That should save us some money going forward if I am successful. My happy for today is getting to spend time with family.
