I hope ya’ll had a fab Thanksgiving. Mine was really nice, despite all the medical drama. I had a swell time with the Mom and I even made an effort and visited my friend - you know the one I talk about incessantly? Yeah, her. It seems kinda weird to hang with her now. We don’t seem to converse the way we used to. Every topic somehow bounces back to her husband (who is out of work yet AGAIN). Still, it’s good to keep the lines of communication open, right?
I think work between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays should just be a forgotten thing. Does anyone really get any work done during this time period? There are four holiday parties on my calendar already and those are just the ones that are work related! I’m definitely going to keep the holiday prep on the light side this year.
Still, if my goal is to be not stressed as the holidays approach, I need to get a regular amount of sleep. It’s 2:37am and I’m fading fast.
My mother’s husband is in the hospital again. He is having a partial amputation of his leg this week. My mother sounds weary so I think I will go early for Thanksgiving and see what I can do. It’s kind of a pisser - she took care of her mother all those years, now she has to take care of a husband too. I guess the frustrating part in all of this is that he just didn’t take care of himself. He’s diabetic and was not able to keep his weight down. So this injury of his never healed. Mom still wants to go ahead with Thanksgiving though. That ought to be fun…
Goodbye my sweet love. I barely knew you. But you made me happy AND you kept me awake on those no sleep days. I probably never let you know just how much I appreciated all that. But I did.
You will be missed and I will be sleepy.
Really, one of the responsibilities of having a blog is posting when you have something you want to say. Me? I got nothing.
Still, I signed on with the hope that inspiration would hit me once I saw the blank screen. Once again? Nothing. Nada.
It’s probably because I should be sleeping now. Have an early and busy day ahead of me. Maybe when it’s over I will have witty bon mots to share with you.
