I intended to write two more posts...
...in reaction to an article I read in the most recent Beliefnet newsletter entitled Caretaker! Take Care of Yourself! by Debbie E. Mandel. I have some reactions to record to two issues raised in the article: One about anemia and how the article is provoking me to think about my mother's very persistent anemia; the other about caretakers being expected to take care of themselves.
    I spent a bit more time than I expect bitching in the previous post and I need some sleep before tomorrow begins, early.
    Just to let you know, I have not read any of the commentary on the message board accompanying the above mentioned article and I don't think I'll be doing that until after I muse about those issues about which the article is prodding me to write. I'm hoping I'll get back here some time tomorrow to post further on this topic. As well, I've asked Beliefnet for permission to quote from the article. With luck, I'll have that permission before I begin my commentary on these issues tomorrow. If not, I'll comment without direct quotes, then add those later.
    My eyelids are heavy. I need sleep. Until tomorrow, then...
