This evening I head our for an overnight family visit. My youngest sister, her 2 girls, and my mother and I are all meeting up at my grandmother’s house. Grandma is very ill and is being cared for at home by my Mom and a team of health workers, as she needs 24/7 care. My sister wants to say goodbye, I think, and support my Mom a bit in this. I am going mostly to help distract my nieces.
I am looking forward to my vacation next week, I will be off for almost 2 weeks. I am going to find a way to disappear for a while. I will take the dog and head off somewhere, I think. Pitch a tent on a beach and not talk to anyone for a couple of days.

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I know how that feels. My Mom should have 24/7 care but refuses. Guess that is where I get my stubbornness from. I have people checking in on her while I am away and am looking to put her on a “home” list without her knowing. I figure it takes about 1 year to get in, so I have time to get her used to it.
Enjoy your time off,and your pup!
