September 4, 2022

In bed late after visiting with Steve, maybe 11:30, up at 7, 2or 3 pss, 3 glasses of vino, trop, much schmoozing.

Made some good scrambled eggs with smoked Gouda for Steve and me.  Spent the morning reading papers, doing online puzzles & Wordle, and keeping the Sunday morning talk shows on mute.

Jim is here for Italian Beef sandwiches, fresh sweet corn, and homemade bundt cake.   When he left, touched me and said "if I don't see you tomorrow, love."  He reminds me again of the fact that he has become a friend over the last 3 and 1/2 years, more than an in-law.  

Geri and Steve spent much of the evening washing and packing all of Jim's clothes.

Out of the blue, had an unpleasant abdominal surprise in the evening.  Another indignity of age.

Tomorrow will mark the end of a chapter of our lives.
