Second year Day 269 - Sunday September 8, 2013

Both Steph and Bridgett were still not feeling well this morning, so no conference today either.  However, I was actually really happy today because all of the sudden Bridgett went to the kitchen sink and started washing dishes and stacking them on the counter, unasked.  She hasn't been able to do that for months because of the pain she has bending over the sink. Actually, she still can't load or unload the dishwasher because of pain, but she can rinse! Anyway, it was such a Bridgett thing to do--she was normally so organized and always kept her apartment so neat and clean.  Later on in the day she again went to the sink and rinsed and stacked things.  Then she turned to Mark and said....you know, in my apartment at school I made a sign and posted it that said that everyone should rinse and take care of their own dishes.  I think that we should do that here too!  My smile was so big, my face almost hurt---that's my Bridgett talking!!  Just something she would have said to us!  I was so very happy!! Oh, today when I talked to Arrianne she told me the funniest thing.  She said one of her friends from her freshman year saw her the other day.  He asked about how Bridgett was doing.  Then he said that he figured she was doing better because he friended her on facebook!  HaHa!  That was so funny!  She doesn't ever use the computer to do anything at all, but she does go on facebook from my phone from time to time.  I'd better see what else she's been doing on facebook:)
