MONDAY JULY 10

I woke up at 11pm and got up and threw-up. Went back to bed. I woke up again at 2am wondering if Matthew left on Monday, when would he be back. I couldn’t go back to sleep so got up to ask Scott what date he had picked for them to come back. I went out in the hall and didn’t see Scott just an empty chair. I heard a noise and thought he must be in his room. I quietly went to his door which was always open and inside his door he had a women bent over his bed and was fucking her with his back to the door. I thought shit I walked in on him. He saw me and reached with one hand to the door and slammed it shut. I went back to my room thinking, oh shit I did it now. I was so embarrassed. Shit why didn’t I just stay in bed? I had trouble going back to sleep. I was thinking how I was going to apologize. Finely I fell asleep.

When the baby woke me up I got up and took care of him. He was in such a good mood and had turn into such a cute little guy. He didn’t want to go back to sleep after I took care of all his needs so I just kept him on my lap and played with him. Hunter woke up and saw me with the baby. She grabbed the top of the rail of her bed and pulled her self up. In one swift move she threw one leg over. Adjusted her hands and threw the other one over. She had a hold of a rail in each hand which she loosened just enough to slide down until she hit the floor. I thought wow she’s good. She came over and put her arms out and wanted me to put her up. I told her my arms were full. She started stomping her feet with her arms out and crying. I thought she is going to wake Mom. I put him in my left arm and put my right arm around her waist. She grabbed hold of my arm with both hands and kind of climbed the chair. Once I got her up I got her on my right leg. She leaned back against me and putting her thumb in her mouth she was happy. I had a hand full. I didn’t want her sucking her thumb but did not have a hand to stop her. Everyone one was happy and we sat there for a good hour when Mom’s alarm went off. She sat up and looked at me. I said, could you help me, my leg is going to sleep. Mom got up and took Hunter. She didn’t want to go and was squirming. Mom got in her face and sternly said, don’t ever give grandma a hard time. I will spank your little butt. Hunter went to play with her toys. Mom turn to me and said, she thinks because she is so cute she runs the place. I shook my head thinking that’s true. After Mom came out of the bathroom I put the little guy in his bed and headed to the bathroom. I saw Serena was awake so I said, Serena come here. Wanting her to go in the bathroom with me. Once inside and I had shut the door I started telling what I had done. She kind of laughed and said, I thought he was gay or not human because he has never said a word about a woman. I replied, that’s true. I said, I have to apologize. She said, just act like it didn’t happen and when every you find yourself alone with him apologize. Problem solved. I said, thanks and quickly got ready to go to the doctor. Just as I was ready there was a knock at the door. It was Scott. I grabbed my book and came out. He walked fast over to the doctors. I had trouble keeping up. Maybe he didn’t want me to have a chance to say anything.

At the doctors I went threw the same steps as always. When I gave the doctor the book she said, everything looks good. How do you feel? I said, fine. She said, because you are eating a large amount to protein and vitamins I want to keep an eye on your kidneys and weight gain. So still come back on Mondays for a couple more weeks. She said we could go and so we went to breakfast. He again walked very fast. I didn’t try to keep up. I just got there when I got there.

Breakfast was great with everyone there. The baby was in such a good mood again and Serena joyed feeding him. On my other side Scott was enjoying teasing Hunter to eat with cookies. He had taken a real liking to her and she was starting to come around to being nice to him. I leaned forward and said to Scott, Do you have a date you think Matthew and Jean will be back. Everyone looked at him waiting for a response. Scott said, maybe July 23 depending on the weather? Everyone noted that date in there minds. I think it helped Serena to have a date to look forward to.

Monday morning at the monastery was rise and shine at 5am. Matthew asked for more salve. He was taking a beating from that woman not because she was better than him but because he wanted her to think she was. Jean was having a great time with Dominic because his skills were good. He needed a good opponent in order to improve. Four more people were missing this morning. That left 14 and it hadn’t been a week.
