Availability ICan'tEvenThink
I've been fairly sporadic lately and may become more - or maybe not. My dad's having open heart surgery Monday to replace a defective aortic valve. Which is stressful enough - even though he's in fabulous shape for someone even 20 years younger than he is and has no heart disease at all, which is also amazing for a male his age. However, on top of this, my mom fell on the ice and broke her arm in three places (as well as dislocating her shoulder, which can't be put back as it could damage the breaks further).
Which means that neither of them will be able to drive for up to three months. And both will need a great deal of help around the house. So, my sister and I, as the only ones nearby, will be needed quite a bit. And, of course, work is nuts as well.
However, I expect that once Dad has made it through surgery and is back home (hopefully by next weekend if all goes well), I'll be better. Right now, even though I honestly believe he'll be fine and will come through this with flying colors, I'm still a bit panicky and scared and worried and everything else and consequently have no brain and am barely managing work, home, and presenting a very calm front to the family who are counting on me for that.
Anyway... if I do something dumb or forget to do basic stuff for a bit, that's why. Sorry in advance.
