Happy...I think...so far....My parents are out today, for 4 HOURS! We take care of each other, and as my mom has early dementia, dad and I take turns taking her to appointments. So my AWESOME dad is taking her today, and they are going to lunch, then her doc appt. Which leaves me alone here, a rare occurance.
I won't do anything any different, but just having my own 'psychic space' as my T calls it. I'm 54, and they are 80 & 78. It can get pretty funny sometimes, and other times....well....we make it through those! I am blessed that I am able to care for them as they/we age. I was in the nursing profession for over 25 years, and it's what I do best. I'm glad I can be here for them. It's also good for me!
I had a rough few days, as I absorbed the fact that my son will be living in the Philippines for awhile after January. Long story, but he loves to travel internationally, and has met a special girl. His first trip to Greece was when he was 12, and he's been about 8 times since. I love to travel myself, and his father is a Greek immigrant. Once I have a passport, I'll feel better. Then he'll 'only' be $1600 away!!
I'm gonna crank up my music, and DANCE while I do laundry, etc. I slept great last night, and have very little pain today...YAY!!
This may my happiest post yet!!:whistling:
