gma, that's really tough, but adding a prayer that your mom pulls through it!
hi L.Ann! Did you reach the doctor yet?
kittykatt, you're so organized! The only way I think about Christmas is the utter dread when somebody mentions "only x weeks till Christmas!"
you very much deserve a mental health day, helia!
lauralind, on American standards, the park is pretty much around the corner - 150miles / 3.5 hours by car, but I've never been there. It's going on my bucket list, though!
Bama, enjoy the weather while it lasts, it won't be for long!

It's 5:30pm and I just got home - DS14 had a family therapy apt (apparently, he was not really telling his therapist much, so after I had a long videocall with her, we scheduled a session with me, DH and DS to talk it through). My grandmother has taken a turn for worse - the doctors advised the family to come say goodbyes. I can't make it before Monday - and anyway, if I came running there twice in one week after ten years of no contact, it would scream "we all think you are on your deathbed". So... I am glad I was not a coward and went there on Tuesday, when she was still pretty fine, and things will be as they will be.
I am SO glad it's Thursday, this week is just so exhausting on all fronts! Working from home tomorrow, so at least there's that.

TaDas

Oh my goodness, trissie, that's a lot on your plate. Good for you for engaging with ds' therapist. I'm sorry about your grandma.
Hi Peaches.
Glad you have great weather too, L Ann.
And I see the beautiful weather trend extends to your area too, Bama! Enjoy the coffee - and the great weather!
The home care help that is set up for your parents sounds helpful, Lauralind. I hope your dad is OK with it. Have a good day at work!

I got in a jog, long text to K, S2, and J, a trip to B and N. Got the kitchen reclaimed and had a relaxing lunch. Now, it's almost 2 and I need to get going again.

trissie, so sorry to hear about your grandma. You have made good choice, it was wonderful that you had an opportunity to visit with her when you did. That will be a good memory.
healian, as people are at the end of life, their appetite dwindles. Their digestion slows down. Too much food can be a burden. It's very OK that you didn't bring pureed food for your mom. We don't konw if this is covid recovery or end of life, so I am giving mom as much supportive care as I can, so her body will have something to use to fight with.
Heading to the store to get yogurt, banana, peaches to make a slushie, p;us will bring soup again, and rice pudding.

We had agreat event at local college today - 2 pastors installed as Chaplains o f the College. A husband and wife team. A very formal and festive service. Short, half hour between class periods. I enjoyed ti and was able to talk to many many people who love mother and let them know what is going on. many prayers needed!

sorry my life is such that I can't make full response to all.

[helia]

Well, you're still an amazingly supportive presence here even if your life is very busy, Gma. Glad the event went so well and you could update people on your mother. It's nice to be part of a community of caring people.

I'm still sitting here - but I have made a Kroger order and I have updated the graphic and sent off a single invite to the exit test - as, apparently, only one student is eligible. Also, not many students are leaving after this session, which is good for us!!
