Day 4 back at the office. It's very quiet here, thank heavens. I've been able to get my office back to function (I let my replacement use it while I was gone) and am trying to get my GTD system back up and running. I've gotten a couple of big to dos off the list and hope to hit another one today.
Home is another story. I've gotten my stuff unpacked, but fitting it back in around my boyfriend and his daughter's stuff has been tricky. I'm so thankful that they moved in and helped with bills, and I've got to remember that whenever I get grumpy, but they just don't feel the drive to organize that I do. In a few rooms I'm in the "making a mess to clean up a mess" stage, other rooms I'm just ignoring. They'll come together as I get time.
I'm still feeling that urge to improve everything in my life at once - get organized, lose weight, fix my finances and ALL RIGHT NOW!!! I keep consciously bringing myself back to the fact that I can't do it all at once and to take one thing at a time.
Mom is doing OK. She actually did get her continuous glucose monitoring system to work on Monday, I'm not sure how. It is reporting her sugars every minute and sounds an alarm when she is over 300, under 100 or rising or falling really fast. She's still a bit confused about what the alarms mean, but she's slowly getting it. The community center for seniors that is looking out for her has been in touch, and we're going to try to line up a nurse to help her with sensor changes, until she's more comfortable with it. I think the people around her are realizing how much she depended on Dad and I, and are starting to see that she may not be able to live alone in the long term. Good. I got darned tired of being the nasty bossy daughter.
Balancing the third role is going OK, so far. Thank heavens I'm working into this slowly.
