My dad's chemo drops did not work on his eye cancer. Waiting to see what's next. My mom's macular degeneration is in an advance stage and she will likely be legally blind within the next 6 months. They both have heart issues. I am watching their independence slip away. This is a hard stage of life.

Just scrolled through memories on FB. I had such an interesting life pre-COVID and whatever the timeline we are living in now.
It's going to take a generation to shake all the drama and trauma of the last 5 years isn't it?

There has been much celebrating in my family the last two weeks. My parents' 60th anniversary and my husband's 60th birthday. So grateful we were able to make special memories.
A lot of planning, organizing, and executing to make it all happen. Today is a me day 'cause I am tuckered out.

The other day I saw a post on FB that the IWK has a podcast on Menopause. The comments from men (and some women) were infuriating. WTF is happening anymore? I am still thinking about them.

Woke up to the news of the terrible fire in Mid Sack. I hope everyone is safe but my heart goes out to everyone who lost their home.
Also, I hope those fighting the fire stay safe. My dad was a FF in Sack for 30 years. My heart always beats a little faster when I hear news like this. 🚒

Watching your adult kids get hit by curveball after curveball is difficult. But when they finally get a win, you celebrate hard.

I am off today. Still in my jammies. Spent the day "puttering" as my mom would say. Felt good to get some little things done.

Went to the ER last night to get checked out for a rapid heart rate and palpitations. Everything checked out okay. My family doc can follow up. Took about 4 hours and everyone was great, especially the doc in rapid assessment. Reassured me a I did the right thing coming in.
