No, not by the needle, but by the healthcare system in general. Mom is back in the hospital and furious with me. Not worth going into, but still hard to deal with. I will not be posting for a bit. Not because I don’t have anything to say, but because I’m so bloody tired I can’t find the humor in much right now and I don’t like me at all when I’m like this.
I’m just working on getting my balance and humor back. Maybe some knitting and spinning and reading your posts will help me get there. I’ m pretty sure that and a little sleep will do wonders. There is little we can do about the aging process and the issues that ensue from that, but how we deal with it is everything. I pray that I never lose my humility, love and ability to laugh. No matter what.
And, since the “Damage Done” by Neil Young is so damned depressing already, I’m sending you “Old Man”. I love this particular version, too.
Have a good one.
My dear, sweet friend, I am so sorry to hear that Mum is having such a hard time. Is there anything at all that you need or that would help you out? I wish we lived closer. Please get some rest.
Cin,
I left you some prettiness in the form of Estonian lace. I should have some time to visit some more this week (and hopefully I’ll finish the shawl). So work on your Pi shawl and we’ll race. Get some rest, ok?
Love you
I’m so sorry things went sour. Hopefully things will look up quickly! Take care, Cindy.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers. And some for rest and relaxation and acceptance and anything else you and your mother need to get through this time.
It just isn’t fair, it isn’t (as I stomp my foot-not that it helps). My heart goes out to you and I wish with all my might that I was closer and could give you a hug and some help. Rest while you can, take care of yourself, too. XOXO
Oh dearie, I’m sorry things are crap right now. I wish I could be there to help out. Hugs to you all and try to get some rest.
Oh, honey, I am so sorry.
Take this time to rest, relax and take care of yourself while the medical people look after your mum. Remember that it’s a good sign that she’s angry with you. It shows the fight she’s still got in her.
*huggles*
I’ll be on the look-out for some funny in my life to post about.
I know- I’ll start a new lace project. That should crack everyone up.
Seriously- we are here- we are here- and we’ll be here we’ll be here when you get back.
Oh man, I’m sorry to hear Mum’s back in the hospital.
Just you take care of yourself and your Mum will be in my thoughts as I send her get well wishes.
We’ll be here when you’re ready to come back. You do what you need to do.
In the meantime, I hope to get some knitting done. I figure I’ll see if attending two knit nights this week will help me get my knitting desire back as it’s all blah right now. All my thoughts are about pleasing my new kitty right now
I guess I can knit something for Frank, eh? Hmm, I might be onto something here…
Anyway, please do take care and hope things get better for both of you.
rats and crudbuns!
Sweetie, I’m so sorry to hear Mum is back in hospital, and although I know it sucks to have her furious at you.. I agree with Cookie on that count.
There, there, do you feel my hug? Please, as hard as it may be, take great care with yourself, tend to the most necessary (which absolutely includes your well being).
I realize there are miles between us but let me know if there’s anything I can do for you… besides keeping you and Mum close in my thoughts and sending hugs.
XOXOX
(sorry I’m a day late, out of pocket yesterday)
I’m sorry to hear Mum is back in the hospital. It’s hard to deal with, but better that she’s still here to *be* mad.
Take care of yourself. If you ever get up to 370 on the first or third Monday evenings, you’ll find a few knitters at the Starbucks on Elm. There’s always room for another chair.
Sorry about your mom being back in the hospital!
Hope you feel better with some sleep (and her, too)!
Oh crap! Thinking about you.
