BF's father in law- 90yrs old is on life support. I'm being very supportive- taking his mother to visit him today; doing a good job taking care of myself and staying involved.

Going to the lake later to rejuvenate and relax.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
