1- How in the fighting hell can it be Tuesday all ready? It is kind of hard to explain but I feel like I have simultaneously been here forever and just got here. Days move kind of slow, but that's okay too.
2- The weather here has been very Seattle-esque; overcast with sporadic rain. The thunder and lightening at night has been welcome though I fear power loss at night for Mom and her Oxygen tank.
3- Kim, Amanda and kids left this afternoon and the house is quiet; maybe a little too quiet, but Mom seems to be resting so good.
4- I got an e-mail from a good friend yesterday that made me cry, in a good way. It's amazing the things your friends reveal to you in your time of need. Thanks Dawn, you're the best.
5- I have to quit eating!!!!!!! a.) I am an emotional eater b.) there's no such thing as bad food at Aunt Kathy's c.) I went from working out 3-5 times a week and eating lean meats to rarely leaving the house/couch and eating 5 meals a day. BLECH
6- My sister works this week a lot... I miss her
7- I got to skype with my husband today and it made my week. I miss him more.
8- Napping is a new norm, I'm not quite sure what I will do when I have to go back to work till 3pm and not be able to nap when I get off like I do now. However, I will be getting more sleep then too... humm...
9- Caregiving is the hardest job I've ever had. People who say "it's nothing" are lying. it's tough work, but it's a labor of love.
10- My family has transformed. We're fighting and dealing with this together, it's been a crazy ride, but we're in it together, and that's all we have.
