I think I’ve done tremendously well with the passing of my brother and with finding out that the best friend that I cared for deeply had cat fished me. I figured this out the day of brother’s service. It was tough. I don’t feel foolish…more that someone has taken advantage of my kindness. I’ll be more careful in future.

I love my mom. I like my mom. She is also a dear friend. Having said that, dealing with the chaos of an 87 year old incontinent, moderate stage dementia sufferer is like herding cats. She has a mind of her own. I’m trying to handle the estate and she is making it difficult. I know she doesn’t mean to. I refuse to get stressed. I’m using extreme self care and other measures to offset the chaos.

I wasn’t able to float today due to responsibilities. I definitely will tomorrow.

I came back from Florida with a bad cold or COVID. I’ll get a test kit while I’m out. It’s manageable whatever it is. I’ve been vaccinated and boosted.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day. Hugs to all.
