Yes, it's the middle of the night here, and the village is asleep. I thought I'd sneak in and sit on a bench near the pond for a while. Some peace is
desperately needed in my life right now. Mum has been in the hospital for the past 8 days with a lung infection and possible congestive heart failure. Fortunately, they were able to identify the bug, and have been targeting it quite aggressively with antibiotics. She's responding well to the treatment, but if I hadn't gotten her in when I did, it could have been a very different story. This new development has, of course, made my life even busier. Between hours at the hospital, working, and trying to keep family updated and wash a few dishes a couple of times a week, it's been a never-ending whirlwind. A little peace and quiet is so much appreciated!
Now that Mum is on the mend, though, I really need to get my life back on track! The first order of business is to try to get some sleep. This insomnia is probably directly related to the Pepsi slurpee I brought home to celebrate the beginning of my four days off work. I had five days off last week, but spent the majority of them at the hospital.
Before I head off to bed, I'll set up the morning snack table - coffee, tea, juice, ice water....fruit, pastries & muffins, and some yogurt cups.
