Difficult Seasons

We’re visiting my mother-in-law. Actually, we’d planned to come home today, but Eloise came down with a bug, so we stayed.

It’s giving me an excuse to write a post from my iPhone using the WordPress app. I’ve played with it some before, with mixed results. But there’s no computer connection available.

I haven’t had a good cup of coffee in two days. My MIL keeps only Folgers instant. I’d forgotten how bad that can taste. I bought some coffee at a local donut shop today, but it was about as bad.

She also doesn’t have Internet. I miss a real keyboard and a big screen. And something faster than Edge.

I realize this sounds pretty petty, and it is. I really like the things that make my daily life enjoyable — good coffee and high speed Internet.

But it gives me just an inkling of what it must be like to have to move from your own home and leave behind things that make your day enjoyable.

What are those things for you? What are they for your loved one?
