+ Saw a trailer full of $2 hens today. Since I haven't been out and about to photograph wild birds, I jumped at the chance to photograph these chickens which were on sale in Fort White, on a side street. Eggs in the trailer included.
- Miss cooking real suppers. For a week now our meals have been take-out or leftover take-out.
- Miss driving to the rivers and looking for birds to photograph.
+ Mom is finally getting attention. "I want you to make me an appointment to get a pedicure/manicure; and when do I have a dentist appointment; and don't forget my hair appointment."
- Feeling stressed that I still have to organize my life, closet, AGW paperwork, etc.
+ Dozens of American goldfinches have been feeding at my birdfeeders, even though I have not photographed them.
- Restless nights, wild dreams, and depression, not excluding guilt, overcome me at times.
+ My brother and his family will be visiting us from Tennessee in the next few days.
+ Clay has been a huge help to me, just by driving me places, getting the mail, shredding stuff. Plus, his truck is fixed now.
+ And a great big final plus: I love Truett and miss him. I'm just not able to be his caregiver at this point.
Anyone know of full time caregivers? Part- time? Have to be experienced, to say the least .. and maybe a little cheaper that nursing home care. Who am I kidding? After the past two+ years that I spent care-giving, you couldn't pay me enough money to do what I did as a care-giver.
Nope. It was all out of LOVE! But, somehow, it broke me temporarily. I'm better today than I was yesterday, and definitely better than the five days before.
