Mom & Me One Archive: 2002-2003
The definitive, eccentric journal of an unlikely caregiver.
As of 1/18/04 this journal continues at The Mom & Me Journals dot Net.

7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals

My purpose in establishing and maintaining this journal
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

To MFASRF: So, why is it I suddenly have all this time to read?
    Because I'm hiding, just a little. The phone is on a day-on day-off schedule, so far, but no one's calling, so that's good. And, I'm behind on some bills, but not too bad, so I'm going to do those, tonight. My eyes need a rest. I will probably be reading more but I am planning on incorporating it into a schedule of life maintenance and getting up to Prescott, which should happen soon, as well.
    It's been raining, loudly and steadily, for the last few nights. I'm hoping it will do this again tonight.
    My mother is spending a lot of time sleeping. I am not rousing her. I'm feeling a bit of anxiety over this, but I'm doing it, all the same. That is why I am spending so much time reading.
