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.

I will, today, be taking numbers.
    Company is coming, as well, so I may not post them until much later. I'm feeling better, am not overwhelmed that I did not prepare for the company.
    Mom's been up once and went immediately back to bed. She looked good, said she felt, "...O.K., neither good nor bad." We can live with that. She is looking forward to company. So am I. I don't care how the house looks. This is company that not only won't care, they may find the mess intriguing.
    I have no idea what to expect from Mom's numbers today but I'm not worried enough to monitor what she eats, either. I think she'll be fine. I think we both needed a true day of rest from monitoring.
