I usually start my mornings (when I get out of bed, that is) on the back porch. Headed out here this morning only to find her here - unusual.

She was all sweet, "Good morning, hon, how did you sleep?"

Kept my answer short and simple, and got to work on my first editing assignment of the day. She just sat there, looking off into the distance, which isn't like her at all these days, either. She's so overstimulated, needs her phone or iPad or computer to fill her mind.

She said, "I just wanted to come out here to think this morning, and enjoy the weather. Usually I go right upstairs to work. Just felt like I needed this." I nodded, said nothing else.

Going to be gone most of the day today anyway, so this should help avoid stupid interactions. It's so much easier not to believe anything she says when I don't hear her talking.
