Had a fantastic dinner out with my sister, brother-in-law, nephew and his wife. Went to a local owned and operated restaurant. It was very good. I had walleye! Boy it’s been years since I had good walleye. The rest except for my sister had various fish dinners and my sister had liver and onions. Boy restaurants like that are rare nowadays.

Without mum to be the social glue it’s going to be quite rare to see everyone. We all live in southern Minnesota but we all have different schedules and it’s just not the same without mum. I don’t think we’re having the holidays anymore either as my sister and brother in law go south for the winter.

So this dinner might be the last time I see them for a while. It was a nice dinner.

Doing fine mentally too. Seem to have got my stability back. It was rocky for a bit. The gabapentin is helping my sleep. My pdoc said to take it every night. It does seem to be working to keep me asleep.
