evileI haven't been on a plane since 2018 or so.... i am flying out to IN on Sunday morning to be with my sister H and hopefully be of some help through our stepdad's rapid decline. I am not excited to be travelling in a germy tin can when the covid numbers are spiking again and the next vaccine is not quite out yet. Lousy timing on that.
I am taking my work laptop. I can work anywhere with wifi and relative quiet. So that's a plus. Thax and Brother A will probably exist on chinese takeout and pizza for however long I'm gone. As long as the dogs are taken care of I'm good with that, lol. Pepita's last dose of pain meds following her spay will be tomorrow evening, and then I am up at the crack of dawn the next day....and the dogs will be back to crunchy food as I only feed canned when someone's sick or needs to take medicine with food--wet food being a 'treat' means they'll be sure and eat enough after they get their pill.
Stepdad G. is in the same care facility as my mom for now. I haven't bothered H with phone calls or texts since she told me the initial bad news so I don't know how bad it is or what the doctors are saying about the situation.
I don't know her plans or thoughts regarding Mom's care and living situation after G passes.
Aunt L is worried about where the indoor and porch cats are going to go.
We will see what's what once we get there.
I had originally thought to drive but H said I can drive Mom or stepdad's car once I get there. I get the impression that time is important here.
She said that she called G's son sineater but the topic of sineater traveling to IN to see his dad did not come up during their conversation. ie; she probably didn't tell him he should or he needs to [probably a good call] and his life and obligations are too complicated for him to get away. I get it. and last time I talked with G on the phone, he said he knows he probably won't see sineater in person again in his lifetime. Sad. but everyone seems to have accepted it. So I guess i need to, too. Recognizing that being angry with sineater is probably misplaced emotion because dealing with grief and loss head on is not easy.
I got my first rejection from a gallery regarding mom's art but they gave me a lead. I thanked them and followed up with the lead. I am to a point where 'stuff' as far as personal mementoes, even 'expensive' and 'valuable' antiques can be let go but 'Art' is sacred. legacy, bla bla. hm. Ok.
