It’s a week since I buried my dad, 4 days since ordering the headstone. Mom’s been in hospital 11 days. I can no longer describe my feelings. I haven’t had a moment to *just* properly grieve, or to take care of my medical BS. A break from everyone needing me nonstop is the absolute minimum…

It’s been a strange, surreal week filled with stress of the unknown, relief in some aspects, devastating sadness in other ways. Many moments with family, getting ALL the details sorted for Dad’s visitation, funeral, dealing with some kind people and one major idiot… I am exhausted. 🥱 😪

Two of my siblings arrived from out of state today to say goodbye to a dying family member. Another sibling is in the hospital, around 2000 miles away. We are going through a LOT…

Spent the week caring for 3 kitties (2 ginger boys & 1 white/gray girl). They usually don’t show up for strangers; they showed up, interacted, so I take that as a win. Sweet fur kids.

I went to physio for my legs today, I went to the gym (but bailed), and shopped in a craft store for retreat materials… all after showering & doing other necessary tasks. I also committed to a pet sitting gig for next week. I’m exhausted. 🥱

Attended Speedway in Lights at Bristol Motor Speedway tonight. First time in around 8 years. Not much has changed with the display itself. The perspective for me was new, as passenger of a 50+ group bus. 👵🏻 🎄 🚍

I don’t typically eat pie, especially since some not so lovely GI diagnoses 6 yrs ago. However, tonight I had a slice of this heavenly deliciousness. 🥧 🍎 🍏

I went all out for a friend this week. I hope my gesture of support during a rough patch brings her a bit of joy. ☀️ 🎁 🎀

First day in a week of having some energy. Loaded huge/heavy angel tree gift into vehicle unassisted, wrapped other gifts, now doing laundry etc for week. Also trying to balance & not overdo it. Always a challenge!

I’m in a chronic illness flare. Joints hurt more than my usual, I’m extra exhausted, skin’s inflamed, stomach’s upset, & everything’s irritating my last ounce of patience. Trying to function = challenging. Wish people understood. 😭 💥 ‼️ I can’t wait to curl up w/the cats this evening.

I just perused @nytimes.com list 100 notable books of 2024. I’ve read >140 books this year, but only 2 from this list. I’ll make a goal to read at least 25 more from it in 2025.

I framed my craft painting of a Christmassy highland cow. It’s hanging on a wall in the living room. I suppose it’s now part of the annual decorations, such as they are.

Quiet holiday, overall. Rainy, dark. Watched Macy’s parade on TV, local band performed. Krispy Kreme 🍩. Sweet card from Mom. Parents took me to Bob Evans for dinner. A little TV. Phone calls w/sibs, nieces & nephews.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. I’m thankful to spend the day w/family, knowing by this time next year, at least one of them likely won’t be here. Making memories & soaking up positivity is more important than ever.
