Hello all! Checking in. I came home with a chest cold from my recent trip. I usually get a cold there when I’m overly exhausted and push myself too hard. I’ve been sleeping 12-14 hour days I’ve been so tired. I’m actually feeling better now. My aunt called yesterday and had caught COVID and was concerned that we were exposed to it. Thankfully my aunt who has aggressive cancer didn’t catch it. I took a COVID test that was negative.

I feel up to continuing my busy schedule tomorrow. I’ll take it slow and steady.

Mom will be 88 in May and her dementia is getting more pronounced. She is cantankerous more often and takes it out on me as I’m the one there. It’s doing a number on me. I’ve hired someone to come in and help out while I get out of the house and away from her for several hours. I love my mom but I need to take some steps for self care at this time.

I hope everyone has a peaceful evening and day tomorrow. Much love.
