disclaimer * pity party for one....

June 1st, 2007 at 03:03 am

My dad is in the hospital and not doing so good.

Wow guys...I am remembering the stress of a full time job (even one you love) + a sick loved one + lack of sleep + a husband who works the opposite shift of yours.

Needless to say stressed, pooped and scared is a sucky place to be.

and what does all that do to a budget..um...no time for shopping, cooking, or packing a lunch...so add to everything else and extra pound or two or five from a sucky fast food diet (not to mention the lack of energy)...and the added cost that lack of preparation brings...and you have a really bad cocktail.

My birthday is this weekend...and I have two wishes...one that my dad makes it...and the other that if he continues to suffer, that he passes peacefully and quickly...how is that for truly contradicting matters of the heart.

sigh.

    What a big heart you have! The part about letting your dad go so he doesn't suffer takes so much compassion because you are putting his needs before your own. I wish you a happy birthday and your dad whatever is for his best and highest good. {{{sending prayers}}}
    p.s. Splurge on some good, healthy take out food. You--and your continued health--deserve it!

    Hang in there, Ray. Hospice really helped my mother out, and in doing so, helped us quite a bit. Wishing for the best under your circumstances.

    A bag of salad with the fast food might balance things out a bit. Gotta be better than french fries.
