Slept somewhat restlessly, that mattress is a blight. I got up around the same time as Ann, and we went to get donuts at Shipley's. It's more of a tradition. The first bite of a donut is good, but they're really rich. We chatted when we got home, then I went for a 5-mile run around the neighborhood. Temperature was great for running, just a little breeze from the southeast. No stitches in my side this time, my left calf was a little sore near the end.
Total distance = 4.92 mi
Avg pace = 8:5/mi
Elapsed running time = 39:50
After I got back, I had another donut. We talked with Mom, who was in good spirits until she went back and washed up. That wore her out, and she wasn't the same. We left the house around 12:30 to get to Carrie's memorial service in Klein. It took us a while to take the 1960 across town, but we arrived in plenty of time. Sat by Mark. The service was more religious than either Ann or I had expected. Matthew and Rebecca both spoke, and a childhood friend of Carrie's played the guitar and sang a song. It was a nice service, Ross made it as well, which was a really good thing. The drive back was slow, lots of traffic to deal with. We stopped at H.E.B. to get stuff to make tacos for dinner. Mom ate again pretty well, and it was a quiet evening. I went to sleep and woke up to get a drink a little before 11:00. Ross came in then, and we ended up talking about Mom's situation for an hour and a half. He was definitely on the edge, but our conversation was mostly cordial. I had some trouble getting to sleep after that.
