Hi Lisa!
I've been ferrying my dad around to Dr. Appointments and spending whole days checking in with the pharmacy to pick up that prescription that will be ready "in about an hour" or so, running around doing errands, pickup and dropoff, and such. Safeway, being "short-handed" in the pharmacy, has a substitute which is the phone, where you cannot leave a message. So I can't reach a Real Person by phone and must Drive Over to see IF it's ready YET. My poor dad has been by turns grumpy, over confident, confused, deflated, alarmed, apologetic, and telling jokes. He's had a sudden go around with a UTI and his usual cavalier attitude has had a real workout. First round of antibiotics and probiotics have not cleared the infection, so, round two. I'm on call. I'm making him dinner tomorrow night since Wednesday was a wash..
I had no idea I could lose so much time trying to be efficient, hahahaha!
Anyway, the week has been a cluster fuck. My desperate goal for today is to make some kind of sense out of the living/dining room and kitchen, which have started to sink under all the detritus, icons and artifacts of Doug's and my Past Lives, exhumed from the drying barn which Doug wants to start working on, and closets and bookshelves.
All my own appointments have either cancelled or been moved, at least once. I missed my chiropractor appointment which is too long a story.. I stopped at the library yesterday to drop off and pickup, and managed to leave them with my driver's license. They called, so I KNOW where it is.
And that's just on the local scene. Anyway, I hope the dust settles. I have almost no Hospice clients Thank God and I'm hoping next week will be a little less frenetic and I can visit you without twitching hahahahahah
I did get the 12-step book by J B Peterson, it looks pretty interesting; the introduction by Dr. Doige has captured me so I'm optimistic that I may even be able to read the book.
