Still, my sister’s recommendation of putting my brother in a home just doesn’t sit well with me.

My daughter and I went to Red Lobster last night. Love that coconut shrimp and those crispy brussel sprouts! We went to the swimming pool late this morning. It’s 77 and breezy here so a little cool in the pool. I still enjoyed it immensely. Tomorrow we’re going to see F9 and then on to a venue to listen to two bands and to see fireworks. That should be enjoyable. Her visit couldn’t have come at a better time.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and a wonderful 4th.
So Happy that your feeling better.. Pool, yummy dinner and time with M... Sounds perfect

Yes doing self care is hard when someone needs so much care, I can relate. But do make sure you take time daily to do a mental check in with yourself and carve out time to do something you enjoy or do nothing at all
