I'm just posting this to confirm that I aten't dead, just very, very tired and struggling a bit at most things. Trying to build up some strength for a brief jaunt south at the start of June, which I am really looking forward to. I think it would help if I could get back to a normal sleep rhythm. In the meantime, I'm catching up with some things like: watching piles of DVDs, Ashes to Ashes, Doctor Who (was enjoying it until the last couple of episodes, which I found quite tedious), and getting back into a bit of reading. Still not back to normal, and still at times getting caught out by thinking "That's my father" when the phone rings. I am concerned, a little, about my mother's concentration and memory, and slightly thrown by the way she's deferring to me a lot of the time, even about stuff that I think is wholly her business and her choice. Weird.

That's it really. Nothing to see here...

It's going to be really good to see you in June. We're both looking foreward to it.

... when the phone rings.

I know what you mean. I've found that thought pattern passes with time.

You might want to seriously think about talking to your mother about her setting up a Power of Attourney to allow somebody of her choosing to manage her affairs; that is if you haven't already done so.

Done that. :)

I'm looking forward to it, too; I hope I have the spoons to be sociable and not too odd.

The phone thing is disconcerting. The other day my mother's phone rang and I thought, "Oh, that'll be my father calling from the hospital."

*sigh*

Thanks. Not sure when I'll be posting more; I feel a bit short of things to say just now. Very nice to see you again. :)

Sorry I haven't got back yet, hun - work has been silly. :(

Hope things get a bit better for you, and the phone thing quickly passes.

No worries. At some point when life is less insane, we must try to meet up.
