Sudden travel
After a week on pretty much blogging hiatus, I forsee another such week. I'm headed home. My grandmother died on Friday. She was 86 and had severe dimentia. This summer gone into a nursing home and was quite unhappy. To be honest, she has said for years that she feels ready to go. She went.
More than anything the stress of being on a weekend away with students, sorting out the high price of airline tickets, getting work informed and up to date, and imagining myself traveling alone with a toddler have all been the sources of frustration. So tomarrow, before bright but very early Junia and I will head to Chicago and then get on a train for southern illinois. We should arrive after about 13 hours of travel. I am sure I don't have enough toys packed.
Send me patience.

Oh, Rachel, so sorry to hear this. Thought of you today, decided to check the blog, and will be thinking of you and J as you travel, celebrate, and grieve.
