My back injury has been flaring today. I hurt it helping mom recover from falling head first down an escalator. It was an injury I sustained helping her and she has the gall to yell at me today when I couldn’t do everything she wanted. Another family member laughed at my tears over my back pain. I love my family but I’ve never described them as kind to me. There are occasions but those are rare. It makes me more determined to take better care of myself and not always stay on the back burner.

I turned to a very loving, kind, caring friend. I’m glad to have those in my life including the folks on this board. It helps just to type it out. I will get a good night sleep and start fresh tomorrow getting ready for Florida. I really need this vacation.

I hope everybody has a peaceful night.
