Well, I can't sleep and here it is 2:30 a.m. and I need to get up at 5:30 to get ready for mediation day. So this is just a quick update:
And my goodness, I have been having fun this week! My sister and her friend are still here and we haven't been doing anything spectacular but have been going out to lunch and shopping and laughing and talking and sipping margaritas at the water's edge! And jeepers, it's just what I needed to recharge my batteries! (Chris, bless her soul, has been sitting with Bob so that I can get out and about.)
Yesterday, we had a "professional" caregiver to watch over Bob (thanks mom and dad!) and for the price, she also does "light housekeeping" so I asked her to clean my office (which hasn't been cleaned in 3 years! yikes!) and when we came home, after a day of flea marketing and a nice shrimp scampi dinner, my oak desk and file cabinet and library table were all lemon oiled and gleaming and the cobwebs were out of the corners and the dust all gone, I tell you, I feel like a queen!
For some reason, it took a lot of gumption just to ask for this little cleaning job. I guess I hate to ask for help.... but I am learning.
On Friday, I had to sit in on the deposition of the surgeon for our lawsuit. All went well and my sister and her friend stayed with Bob and cleaned Bob's room (the living room) and the bedroom while I was gone!
So my house in getting cleaned up and I am getting some much needed rest.
The only bad thing is Bob does not want go out and about. I really wanted to take him out for a day or two at the beach, but he is complaining of too much pain....
Anyway, mediation is tomorrow (or I should say-- today!)
Wish me luck!

Enjoy every minute you can with your sister and her friend. Getting those batteries recharged is extremely important, and having some fun and real enjoyment is the perfect way to do so. And nothing like having some much needed house work done while having fun.
I have no doubt you'll do just fine in the mediation.
Lots of hugs and prayers, Dan
So many peoples' good wishes are with you.
I'm so glad you got to have some fun. What wonderful friends and family you have. P.S. I've got areas in my house that haven't been cleaned in 4 years.
I am overjoyed that you are having fun this week! You deserve every minute of it! My best wishes are with you for your mediation. You are a Queen!
I can FEEL the lightness to your spirit in this post! So happy you're laughing, shopping, and maybe feelin more like you. Cheers to your sister, her friend, the home care nurse, and a big hug to your dear friend Chris. :-)
Enjoy every minute. You deserve it. It's about time.
