I’m feeling run down today. There’s no pep in my step like there usually is. I’ve dropped off on the self care as my care giving responsibilities grow. That’s a big no-no according to my therapist. Like who has time? I did say I’d work on it.

Mom got lost yesterday and abruptly stopped in the middle of the road. We almost got nailed by an 18 wheeler who had to drive onto the shoulder to avoid us. I looked up and saw that grill and my life passed before my eyes. There have been other things as well. She’ll not give up the keys easily so for now I’m just telling her I’d like to go with her everywhere and drive. She has surgery for a hole in her eye tomorrow that will take a year to heal so I can use that as an excuse to drive and ease her into not driving. It’s a sensitive topic and puts more stress on me but that’s how it is.
