I was very happy that my friend Paul said I could stay with him this weekend. That's a $400 savings. What a relief. Gearing myself up for the trip. It's always a emotional roller coaster. The excitement to see him, the stress of the long drive, the fun and stress of being a full time Dad all of a sudden again. Then as it peaks it's dealing with Eric's anxieties of the coming end of the weekend, that coupled with my own sadness. So it's a real workout.
Mom's routine check up this morning turned into a 2 hour fiasco. First she wasn't in the computer, but when they checked her chart is was written right there. I usually give the paperwork to the nurse or doctor when she goes in. This time they wanted it before hand which was unknown to me. So we ended up waiting an hour till I heard them calling my Mom's facility for the papers. When we finally got inside they didn't know she had a stroke last month so questions and tests followed. Mom was doing well through it all. When I get back next week I need to do her nails again and give her teeth a good cleaning. Between my schedule and all the activities she went to this week I haven't had the chance.
I'll call April tonight before she gets to rehearsal for the comedy improv and set up seeing hopefully for next Tuesday. Hopefully it will be from home tonight since I am tired and would like a good night's rest before the road trip tomorrow.

glad you are saving 400.00. That's big help for sure. I hope you have fun with your son. I know it's hard to see your son then not see him for a while.
