(Untitled)
I’m not okay. Ok? I’m not okay. I have too much shit getting thrown at me at once.
My mom’s been dead a year.
It’s Thanksgiving, the start of the HoliDAZE season, but of course, my mom’s dead, my dad’s dead, I have almost no contact with my mother’s side of the family, and my brothers do their own thing for the holidays and always have. So it’s just ( Read more... ) -
Down the rabbit hole again...
In four days it will be the one year anniversary of my mother’s stroke. I feel like I’m falling down the rabbit hole again ( Read more... ) -
The Unbearable Weight of Being - Part 3
I wish I could say that there was a happy ending to this story, but I can’t. Without my mom either regaining the ability to swallow without choking or returning to her right mind, there was only one way this saga could end. Neither of those things happened. In fact, as the time wore on it became more and more evident that the damage from the stroke ( Read more... ) -
The Unbearable Weight of Being - Part 2
I guess, technically, she had the stroke on October 23rd, but I wouldn't know about it until the 24th. My mother had a Medi-alert necklace.

Ho Ho Ho. Still alive.
It’s been a long time. Too long. I don’t get here much. Hardly at all. Another year has gone by. It's Christmas, and I am at my grandmother's house for the holiday. I'll be here until Thursday.
I'm working for my brother-in-law 2 days a week, making the 160mi/one way trip every week, but it's wearing on me. I have 3 elderly patients left, including ( Read more... ) -
Wheels Keep Turning, Kittens Keep Growing
I started a new job. It's actually a job that's been in the making for about 5 years. Sharon wanted me to go to work for Elias well before she died. Two weeks ago I started.
I'm going to be his medical biller. It's the first step in my commitment to move away from hospice and elder care to a profession that suffers less loss. I'm still going to my ( Read more... ) -
