Alone At Last

Most of the time I enjoy being at home alone. Gives me a break from having to take care of a disabled husband and an elderly mother. Now my husband is in the VA Hospital in Nashville, (a routine thing that doesn't really bother me), and my mom is in the hospital at Parkwest. I worry so much about my mom because she is getting old and so feeble. She has 2 dogs at home and one of them has to have heart medicine twice a day. Now I have to worry about that too. If I miss a dose, Mama will let me have it! I'm not going to have a choice but to drop my ASL class. I'll admit, I was thinking about it but now even if I decided to stay, I couldn't. My motorcyle is in the shop in Kodak, but I have no one to take me to get it. Oh well... I'll get it eventually. I can't sleep so I thought I make a blog. I was so happy last night when I got home from the hospital to find an email from Mary telling me she would be willing to help me learn. I think I'll learn more that way. I get to meet Mary's sister today. She's hearing but sounds like a really nice person. I love meeting new people. Looks like I won't be keeping grandkids this weekend. I'll be at the hospital most of the time. But that's okay. I need a break. Seems like I have something to do every day of every week. Maybe I'll get the chance to clean my house. Oh well, I'll do what I can. Thanks for reading.

It was really great to meet you. I hope to meet your husband also in the future. I'll probably meet you both at the dedication ceremony for Mary and Bucky's house.

About Me

I am now an RN. I love taking pictures, especially of my grandchildren. I love taking care of people and wish there was more time to do it. Management puts so much paperwork and picky stuff on us we really don't have time to do the job we are destined to do.
