I’m tired. Is it just me or is it a lot of work trying to get set up for a trip? It doesn’t help that every time I do something for myself like this trip or Tuesday’s coffee date, mom says she’s deteriorating. I don’t even know how to respond to that. Today I finally said make me a list of your needs that aren’t being met and I’ll work them into the rotation. She sighed and closed her eyes. I feel manipulated.

I have a good friend who I have supported tremendously on frequent occasions who does not always reciprocate. It’s disappointing. I’m not sure how I will handle that as I’ve talked to her about it before.

It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed some time outside.

I hope everyone has a peaceful evening.
