I had a quick conversation with my brother and learned that my mom is not doing well. Her Alzheimer&#8217;s has progressed to the point where it is neither safe nor advisable for her to be alone. She needs round-the-clock care and it&#8217;s sad because she is such a good and beautiful soul. She&#8217;s done a lot of good in her life and does not deserve this kind of ending. I am angry that nothing bad happens to the Trumps, Musks, and Mike Johnsons of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am trying to accomplish a few things today but struggling because I feel so sad and down about the entire state of the world. I really want to run and hide; to become a child again. I feel like I never made the transition to adulthood very well. My feeling is not incorrect because I did not, in effect, make the transition. I am struggling to understand what is being thrown at me right now. I am overstimulated, reached the point of exhaustion, and left with grasping at straws to create some kind of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope that maybe the day will get better and happier somehow. I know I&#8217;ve a couple of stops to make on the way home. I don&#8217;t really mind though. I need to pick up some champagne for tonight for Valentines Day. I also want to see if Walgreens has some things that I need. Spending today with my beloved Denisse should be good. She&#8217;s a wonderful person; my angel sent to watch over me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least I got some thoughts out of my head that were swirling around. That always helps. I did get my small business virtual server set up. The operating system I should say is setup. I still need to move emails and files to it but I\u2019ll get there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the sun shinning I am feeling very gloomy.
