Hey Dad, hows it going where you are? It has to be better than here i think...coz it sucks big time!
Got a email off janie last night, thats a big enough shock...she is keeping me up to date sort of..other shock..Mum is talking about going into a nursing home!!!!!!!!!!! For her to be talking about that she has given up..you know what she has always said about nursing homes, but on the other hand, if she does need 24 hour care..don't think she does...but if she does then thats the place for her. I will put a million dollar bet on that if she does go in it will only be weeks/couple of months tops and she will join you. That being said, there is nothing any of us can do..she has given up, doesn't want...well...she wants me to move back down there and live with her, but i can't do that. ... so I guess I will start preparing myself for what the next few months will bring and hope it turns out okay.
Work is getting crazier by the minute..now I have to put xmas cards in all new arrivals, as well as everything else that has to be done..like i have the extra time to do that..and we are short staffed, so i'm stipping rooms ahead of them and making beds just so we get out of here at a reasonable hour!!!! I think I'm on the short end of a very short fuse, and maybe even burning it from both ends right now....gonna be a sight when i crash and burn in a few days thats for sure!!!
fingers crossed i won't crash, but ..oh well shit happens hey Dad!!!!!
better go, loony time is about to start here
ho bloody ho
always and forever your little Margy

Sweetie, you are spinning and I know that means you are VERY unhappy.
Please try to slow down a little. I am afraid for you. Yes, I know this is a busy time and you are short staffed - I\'d come and work with you if I could. Anything to take the pressure off.
Thinking of you, praying for you to come through this. Wrapping you in warm, gentle hugs to shield you from all this stress.
Love, my dearest friend.
Mary
Crazy, crazy time, Margy...I don\'t mind you spinning anymore. I feel like jumping in the chair with you. It\'s so odd, but my Mom seems to be acting strange too. She has that air about giving up...for her, she isn\'t eating much...no appetitite, no will to get out, I can\'t be there by her side forcing her if she doesn\'t want to do things-I don\'t know what to do to help..and it\'s pretty much the only thing on my mind now...it\'s so hard to deal with...and it\'s scaring me. Sound familiar?
I would join Mary and help you with the rooms too if I could. If nothing else, the three of us would have a laugh and/or cry...then a Bloody Mary...Love and Hugs---Taters
