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.

A short note from a very tired journalist.
What a day. We only got in one blood glucose reading, the morning one, and it was on the high side, in the 140's, I think. I can barely think about everything else that went on and some of the conclusions I reached, which I'm still trying to digest and to which I am still trying to adjust. I'll explain more later, probably after we are up in Prescott on Saturday.
Tomorrow is our first delivery trip, although my day today was so completely sidetracked that I'm not sure how much stuff we'll actually transfer tomorrow. We need to go, though, and make sure the Prescott part of the mail switch took place and, I guess, make sure the place is still standing. I have a funny feeling we're going to be greeted with either a water heater or a refrigerator that has stopped functioning, but we'll see tomorrow.
More later, in fits and starts. This move is going to be a challenge, but my shoulder is already to the wheel and aching a bit. Once again, wish me luck and send me energy, I'm still in need of both and in need of more. Thank you.
