After several days of trauma within the family with my mother having had several strokes and several other health concerns, the girls and I will still be able to go on vacation, the first REAL vacation in many years. My mom is currently doing much better, has been transferred to rehab where she is the therapist’s pet, and is gradually gaining back her cognitive and executive functions, and those skills necessary to perform her activities of daily living. It was iffy for awhile whether or not our vacation would take place, given the grave state of my mom’s health, but I am relieved and grateful that she is doing so well.
I am the eternal list maker, and I have made a fairly comprehensive list of things that I will need while on vacation, to include some software and peripherals for work (yes, I will be doing SOME work while gone), iPods and cell phones and journals and books, snacks and blankies and pillows and cameras and batteries and a myriad of other items that made me realize just how much stuff we have and how much I hate to travel. The plus is that we are getting away to visit with Erika, Chad and Samantha, and it will be an adventure. I am praying there are no disasters while there, but I have a ready supply of Excedrin Migraine and my handy, dandy StressEraser just in case. The girls are jazzed. I will be grateful when we arrive in Austin.
Ta ta for now.
