Our rain turned to ice, sleet and snow. It's an ice rink out there today. Windows are frozen over and we can't even see out them. There is a level 1 road emergency in place today, and roads are slick, some schools closed, and many, many power outages around our area. Thank goodness ours is on.
Daughter K has secured an apartment with her boyfriend (until they buy a house of their own). I hope I'm not repeating myself, but my brain is over loaded with emotions right now. She's been filling up her car with items to donate before the big move.
We are literally hanging on emotion-wise. Hospice is taking good care of Mom. I have been up to sit with her almost daily, and all of us are overwhelmed with a roller coaster of emotions.
Most nights we don't even eat dinner. I still haven't made dinner, but tonight I will use every last energy zap I have to make something. I was reminded to take care of ourselves, and eat properly, take breaks, take vitamins, drink kefir (or eat yogurt), and hang on to our health right now.
I was once told that giving can keep your mind at peace, so I have printed a few patterns and wrote a few notes on what I can be giving as a random act of kindness.
On a side note, I discovered one of the employees that works in the nursing home salon, is a friend from high school. Yesterday I met someone that has worked there for 29 years, and will be there 30 years this coming April.
