I feel very drained right now. My Mom’s boyfriend died the other night. He was sick – had cancer, but was undergoing chemo. He got pneumonia and just stopped breathing. My Mom sounded so sad on the phone and so far away. I thought really hard about flying out to be with her, but I cannot afford it. The plane ticket to SA is so high and the expense of missing work and stuff….I want to be there for her so badly.
My house is a big mess as well. Then closing of the store means a lot of the stuff is here and the house is not ready. I know it will all come together eventually, but, right now I feel very overwhelmed. Just doing laundry is an exercise in acrobatics and balancing.
My friend Greg who works across the road from me had his last day at work yesterday and on Monday is going to New Zealand and Australia(for 31/2 weeks!) I am happy for him but, I want to go as well!
Aah well, things come and go. Off to my favourite breakfast place – Original Pancake House.
