My apologies to those who follow this blog. I hadn't realized it had been so long since my last post. I just haven't had a coherent, well developed idea in a few weeks. I've got some nuggets that I need to expand into actual blogs, and here's some of them...
I really thought this blog would focus on how hard it is to be away from my work. Turns out it isn't really that hard! I'm not sure if it's because I was getting burned out at work, or if it is because what I was dealing with here didn't leave much emotional room to worry about my job. Either way, I'm thinking a lot about this in light of my never ending goal of not letting my job run my life. More on that topic later.
We're starting to get a plan together that will hopefully allow my Mom to stay in her house when I go back to work. We're interviewing "companion care" providers now. Again, more on that topic later.
How am I doing? I'm not sure. I'm not sad. I really don't have any trouble talking about my Dad. Unfortunately, my memories are mostly of him in his last few weeks. I really hope those fade out to happier memories soon. I'd been very frustrated with Mom, but we're doing better now. I've been very busy tutoring and worrying about how I'll pay bills until my paychecks start back up in September.
In two years, I've had 4 good friends from my U leave. It is very strange. Why did they go? Why do I stay? Again, more later.
