Nov 2013

Two weeks ago, mom announced she was moving in with me. (Uhhh, okay...) She requested some turkey breast so I've been up since oh-dark-thirty preparing a repast which we'll share shortly.

There's no letup in the stress and adjustments this year. I've decided I'm dragging out all the holiday decorations and will be dolling up the house later. I need that, need to immerse in good memories now to brace for the next difficult year. Mom's very frail and might not be around for the next holidays. We'll spend some time to make friends in the meantime.
