Today Emily said she tackled several things and even though she thought it didn't look like anything got done, she felt like she had accomplished a lot.  She and Valdis loaded up some things in the truck and made a trip to the dump.  She will probably want to do that a few more times.  It also looked as though she was beginning to sort through the things in the bathroom that Gene used. She also continues to work on straightening up the storage areas outside.

 She seems to be growing more confident about driving her "new" car.  She can't see the hood - the front of the car in this new car.  When she drove the Mercedes, she could see the hood ornament on the front of the car and had a good line of sight to position herself in her lane on the road, as well as knowing exactly where the front of the car was. Russ gave her a visual to get herself lined up in the lane, and she's beginning to get accustomed to driving it.  She seems to be very pleased with it. 


A bit at a time, she is beginning to find her way in what she referred to once as her "new reality".
