We went to a play last night, Murder by the Book. Linda's sister and brother-in-law were two of the stars. It was in a round barn, which posed some real challenges for Linda. First, the farmground around a barn leaves something to be desired in terms of levelness. Second, the bathrooms are quite a walk.

But we had a lot of fun. Some of Linda's family was in Kirksville for the play. We talked and laughed a lot. Linda was more easily understood than at previous times with family. They were quite surprised by how easily and how largely she laughs. Some of that is a bit of lability playing out, but no one minds.

Family was over this morning too, and that was a bit harder for her. I cooked breakfast, and she was tired from last night. The combination meant that she was more difficult to understand, and I wasn't free to translate. Her family also gets a bit boisterous when together and she can't compete with the loudness.

As such she's a bit grumpy this afternoon, but a lot of that is just tiredness and will probably go away when she rests up.
