Why I’ve been boring lately

[pjthompson]

Or I probably should say, “more boring than usual.”

The short answer: I’ve been dealing with a family illness since the fall.

The not-much-longer-answer:

I haven’t wanted to talk about it much because I was using most of my energy just dealing with it. We’ve been on something of a rollercoaster, very intense at times, then less so, then more so…and etc.

We are in a good holding pattern right now and I’m feeling a bit more confident, enough to broach the subject here. Although, a superstitious, magical-thinking part of my brain can’t shake the feeling that by stating that openly, the Universe is going to pull the rug out from under me yet again and things will take a turn for the worse.

It’s odd living in Pambrain sometimes.

But if you don’t hear much from me for awhile, it’s probably because I have cursed myself and things have taken a turn for the worst.

If you see me here spouting inanities, you can probably assume things are going okay for the moment.

You didn't name names so maybe no jinx? Here is hoping things stay constant for you. Hugs.

I hope you're right about the jinx! Thanks.

So sorry to hear about the illness... I'm glad for even moments of respite for you, but I hope you get more than just moments, and I hope for the best possible outcome for your ill family member.

And you're never boring. I was just thinking about your posts this morning on my walk, in fact.

Thank you--very kind of you to say!

I'm hoping things settle down now for awhile, but you never know. We'll just deal with what we have to.

It's hard to deal with mundane things like blogging when you have stuff like that on your mind! I know when I get bogged down in stuff I have to deal with, I tend to post things like links and pictures without much else.

I hope everything works out for you and your family! *hugs*

Thanks. Sometimes life trumps even social media. ;-)

Totally understand that--have had some similar stuff over past six months.

Wishing you and your family well!

Bless you. Caretaking and semi-caretaking are never easy. Here's hoping things go better for both of us.
