We made it through another week! :whoo:
I am feeling a bit emotional today. OK-- more than usual. (Although is that true? Don't I usually ignore all emotions?) Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows?
I spoke to my mom early this morning. She called while everything was quiet at the hospital. She is feeling much better already but will be in for a least a few more days. They took her off all of her meds are and are now reintroducing them one at a time. Her kidneys are improving each day. And she took my advice from last time and accepted a Xanax to help her sleep.
We talked about me not visiting her and she is *adamant* that I should not come down. My brother is insisting on seeing her and wants me to go as well. No way am I risking her health or my family's. She knows that I would be there in a heartbeat if I had to but she is very happy to talk to me on the phone. But my god, I miss her, miss hugging her. Miss going out lunch or planning the trip down the shore. I get teary thinking what if I never get to hug her again?
Vaccines can't come soon enough. NJ is still holding steady but how long will that last as the rest of the country is practically going up in flames?
The other day, I saw people on Twitter quoting Trudy's Dr. Bonnie. Meanwhile we have DT sidlining Dr. Fauci. So jealous of competent responses to this.
I didn't do much of anything. I paid some bills, cleaned the house, tried to help Caitlyn with her Health Insurance waiver on the tuition bill. We took W for a walk and talked a bit. She is relieved that she made a decision about grad school. More stress about the finances of it but she is coming to terms with that.
Today I am going to scrap. It is cold and rainy and I don't feel like doing much of anything housework-wise. Other than dishes and laundry, I think I am done.
Gratitudes:
-the rain is watering my plants
-the monarda is blooming and sooooo many bees and butterflies are on them. The bees have huge globs of pollen on their legs. Go forth and pollinate!
-my mom is under good care, at a good hospital and had good drs.
Sening hugs to all of you!
