Well if there was any thought that winter might skip us this there, that theory can ben put away. But if the truth be told, we have had colder weather than this; it's just a shock to our system after such milder weather for the past three months.
So trying to get some order or at least organization to my life right now. Every once in a while, the feel of overwhelmness creeps up on me; and quite frankly, I'm the only one letting it in. So I'm trying to stay on top of important things and remember to take care of myself.
It's official, and I have approval to blog about it (no details), but Patrick and his girlfriend of two years have split up. It was sad for everyone (especially for me!) Thankfully the break-up has been kind and friendly. But I did spend a few nights up skyping with the son and listening and inputting. I'm glad he's got a great group of friends to support him. I know the girlfriend will be fine as well; she is a strong lady and very smart and talented.
Throw in Mom's new home at the Foothills Hospital. We are still waiting for transition services to find her a bed for her rehabilitation. Every time you talk to mom, she thinks she is going home soon. I never realized how much stuff she actually does on her own, or with the help of the people at the manor. It can be very demanding. Hats off and many thanks to the nurses and doctors who give the good and take the bad.......
Busy week with work this week. Hopefully I can get the important stuff done.
And finally, with all these thoughts spinning around in my head last night; I again had trouble falling asleep for the second night. I came down stairs and slept in the son's empty bed. Did some meditating; some "thankful for's; some what could I change moments; nothing seemed to help and of course knowing how busy my day was going to be on Monday, I started to panic. Panic equals ativan. Sure enough my last three hours of sleep were amazing (but quite dreamy) Note to self: When it says on medication pacakged to not handle large machinery when taking the medication - this also means treadmills. Darn near stretched my entire body from the front to the back of the treadmill. Closed my eyes for two seconds and my balance was way off - thank goodness for walls.
Well - off to get the rest of the day finished.
