Wow, I didn’t think it was this long since I last posted. We finished our camping at Kikomun and returned home. The camping was great although the weather let us down, it was still good to be away. I so got into the routine I forgot to take my meds a couple times. No ill …
Month: July 2011
Just sitting by the fire at Kikomun, had a couple rye, a bit of wine, wantin’ to feel profound. Not really happening. Feeling melancholy but impossible to articulate. I sit here listening to the cries of a child in the distance, I think of Tracy and whether a meeting in Toronto is good, or advisable.
Brenda just emailed me with an update about Dad, the ct scan they did shows he’s likely had a few strokes and he’s showing early signs of dementia. He’s still in the hosp and the Dr will keep him until Monday. I’m trying to decide how I feel, partly numb like I often feel, somewhat …
It’s often interesting to me how the written word, and often other benign media, can have such an impact on ones mood, in this case bringing me to sadness. It’s not only the sadness of loss, which I certainly feel, but the sadness of loves felt and missed. The book I’m reading, fiction in this …
One thing I can say about camping is that I sleep like a log. Mind you I’m going to bed later but I’m sleeping until at least 9:30, and yesterday slept until 10:20. Bloody amazing, and the thing is I don’t want to be up. It’s more like I’m happier sleeping and in my imaginary …
Our second round of camping is well under way with our second week of 2 beginning at Kikomun Creek/Lake campsite. We have met Mo’s family here for what seems like an annual event. Unfortunately I don’t really look forward to it and that in itself bothers me. I want to want to be with everyone …
It’s been a while since I last posted, almost a week. Mostly we’ve just been on the road but there have been periods with no cell service as well. Poor excuses all really. G says I shouldn’t worry about not journalling every day but if this blog does become read it’s important to be consistent, …
I’ve talked at some length to Dad’s hospital social worker about his condition and prognosis. I won’t go into detail here, both because it’s not required and because it’s expensive doing it on my phone while using roaming. Suffice to say he’s doing ok medically but the congestive heart failure has not been stabilized, yet. …
I’m very sad today thinking of the loss of Larry, my stepfather, and potential loss of my Dad. Am I doing the right thing by not going down there to Langley to see Dad? I feel like an uncaring son but in reality and couldn’t do much even if I was there. It’s a weekend …
So Mo is very overwhelmed today, she has a new/additional job and it is causing her a lot of stress, and her learning curve is very steep. She has asked me for some help on the computer and I have offered suggestions however she is so stressed she is having a hard time hearing me. …
