Soup to nuts...

To say that today was hectic, would not sum it up. It's also been a day from soup to nuts, literally and figuratively. I began the day with hospital visits, which were actually very pleasant. Then Paul and Aliyah took Elle to pointe class, and I attended a funeral for a 23 year old woman, Nicole, who died after a jet ski accident. The poor family...2 years ago, I planned the funeral for Nicole's sister Megan, who died after giving birth, from a cerebral hemorrhage. Nicole's accident was 3 weeks ago, and she was just taken off of life support 2 days ago. To add more despair to the situation, the mother, Mary Ann, lost her job here in Fondy, because she didn't have enough sick days/vacation days left after she spent 3 plus weeks in the hospital with Nicole. Really makes me count my blessings. After the funeral, went back to the office to plan a funeral for a 67 year old with lung cancer. His family was just great, very spiritual, and had a great deal of planning already done. When I leave work at 4, Eva, Elle and I (with Aliyah's help) are painting the family/tv room a really neat shade of green, olive something, and 1 accent wall a darker sage. Yesterday, we picked out new furniture, and agreed on a leather sectional with 2 recliners. It matches nicely the fainting couch, which Jo had reupholstered, and we purchased from her. Paul is replacing the floor with a very nice ceramic tile, and it should be really nice when it's done! Stanley gave us an idea for veggie soup, in that we have so much in garden produce, so that's on the supper menu. (See, that's where the soup comes in.) As far as the nuts...well it's a short drive for me today! One day at a time:)
