7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
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.

We have some errands to run, today...
...and, already, it's been busy. I've been in and out of here, but decided to wait to publish until now. A new page for Sep/Oct/Nov has been added: Ain't She 2 Sweet - 2003. The Updates and Test Results pages have been updated appropriately.
I am so thrilled that Mom is attacking a book that I don't care that the quotes she cares to read aloud to me as she progresses are nothing new, nothing special. I'm going to read the book too, so I can discuss it with her. I'm surprised, sometimes, at the quotes she chooses because I know she's heard them before ad infinitum but they appear new to her in the reading of The Fearless Caregiver. That's okay with me. Her rediscovery freshens them for me. Perhaps the book is a necessary gathering together of the obvious so people will take more careful note.
We will be up and moving around, today. She's a little dehydrated but we'll take care of that. We. Yes, we. I can't do it without her cooperation, which sometimes becomes very obvious.
This auto-website-builder is screwing up in its reading of the space I've used versus what I have left so there may be some technical difficulties over the next few days until I can get tech support to do something, but, just to let you know, I'm on top of it.
Later, no doubt.
