Looking to tidy up the house, vacuum up doggie dust bunnies, and make a curtain for the door in the living room---the sunlight coming in through the window in that door at dinnertime is so harsh at this time of year, and a barrier of some sort is necessary. Right now we have a curtain there that's just too thin. We have room-darkening shades in most of the windows, and have to draw them early. I don't want a shade on the door, so will sew later on. Least that's what I'm telling folks.
Our neighbor appears to be gone today, and for that I'm grateful. By saying that, I hope it means that he's somewhere better than his house, which has turned into a fortress of sorts. His mom was at his house yesterday, took him out for dinner and late last night he left. Not sure what that means, but he hinted at going to a psychiatrist today, so we're hopeful. Especially hoping that his family will be able to get him some much needed help. He's been turning off the power to his house being fearful of *them* and I know it's gotten hot as blazes inside. I want the old Jeff back, but it may take awhile before that happens.
In the meantime, will do what I'm here for, and that's doing my stint as a wife and mother. And, oh, might write a bit as well.
