Second year Day 266 - Thursday September 5, 2013

This was a day to just relax and try to get our bearings being home.  Sometimes it seems that it takes several days to just unwind from a trip.  Obviously it takes several days to unpack, do laundry, file receipts, catch up on paperwork at home, etc.  My office at home definitely needs a few days of filing and sorting!!  Bridgett's feeling great and sleeping great.  She is remembering more things, although they are still random things:)  She's still full of a hundred questions a day.  Why do the roads have so many bumps in them, how did Adam and Eve know how to deliver a baby and how did they cut the umbilical cord, if its white in heaven--what color is it in hell?  Some questions are more easily answered than others, obviously.  Some of her questions are very deep doctrinally, or very deep scientifically.  Some questions are about why things are named what they are--who named the bones in your arm the radius and ulna?  We google a lot of things and look up other things but some things there are just no answers for.  For example, on why things have been named certain names---I finally just started telling her that no one knows or remembers how things got named.  Like--why do we call a cup a cup?  Or why do we call grass grass?  So, now when she asks, I say remember what my answer is to those kinds of questions?  Then she remembers and says OH YEAH!  It's weird that she can't remember some things but she can remember and says to me...I know I've asked this question a lot of times but I can't remember the answer.  Weird, right!  Some things that happen only once (since the accident) she remember vividly, but if you ask her what she had for breakfast, she won't remember.  Of course, if we have the same thing all of the time, we does remember.  Or, I'll say to her, what do we do today or where did we go and she won't remember.  But, if I give her a little hint, then she will remember.
