sereneThese are not in order of importance. My mind is all over the place today.
1) Playing Choose Your Own Apocalypse is wearing me out. I know I am not alone in this.
2) Went back to school to get (finish) a degree in nutrition. I like school. Plus, I like having something to do with every moment of time. But it doesn't help with the worn-out part.

mac_arthur_park has died. I will miss her dark sense of humor, her deep goodness, and even her air of benevolent tragedy. I will never smell patchouli and not think of Al. There will be a collection for her surviving family. I will post about it when I hear details.
4) Mom has been very ill for the last 10 days. I am wiped out from it, and angry with her for resisting medical care, and simultaneously respectful of her needing things to be on her terms. But yeah, really tired of the physical work of caring for someone who hates being taken care of.
5) My kid hasn't had a hug in 6 months and I am sad for her but not willing to hug someone who is housemates with an ICU nurse while I'm living with elderly relatives.

Date: 2020-09-08 05:15 pm (UTC)i hope that your mom gets better soon. i can't fault her since i never go to the doctor until way after i should, but i am certain it is very tiring to be on the caretaking end of that decision. please give her my love.
i haven't had a hug in six months, either. my brother is bringing my dad to visit next week and i am honestly not sure whether i should/will hug him or not. and i am not sure who is at higher risk in the transaction. my niece will presumably come to see him too--my niece who works at a children's hospital. maybe i will see what she does, but then, do i do the same or do the opposite?

Sending virtual hugs to you, your kid, and your mother.
