Thanks P! I have had a okay day. I took my Mom’s truck and filled it with gas. She hasn’t filled the tanks on the truck for 8 years (since the death of my step-father). She says it scares her to fill them?? I don’t get it but I keep them filled for her. I guess we all have our hang ups and fears. I haven’t been very productive today. I did some cleaning but not much of anything else. Tomorrow I am going to clean my storage shed. I had a work friend ask to be friends with me on Facebook and I accepted. I had blocked her as a friend after my Husband died as she wasn’t very supportive. I have learned through my grief counseling that sometimes people don’t know what to say and sometimes they say things and don’t mean to be hurtful. So, I will give it another try. It’s just strange that she contacted me as I was thinking of another work friend and I sent her a card today. I am feeling a little down today. Don’t know why! Through grief counseling I am learning not to be so hard on myself. I am finding a new path in my life and sometimes it is hard being alone. I had to tell my Mom today that her Sister (only sibling left) was going to a assisted living facility. I talked to her Daughter last night. She is 92 years old and her Husband died recently. She needs 24 hour care and her children all have to work. My Mom took it well and she said she understood and that it was probably the best thing for her Sister. I told her that we would be sure to get the address and phone number so she could keep contact with her. I know it must be sad for my Mother as all of her siblings but 1 have died. My Mother is the youngest and her Sisters and Brothers were in their teens when she was born. She is closer in age to their oldest children, her Nieces and Nephews. It was a little sad as my Mom had tears in her eyes. Oh, I am going to do some reading and try to get out of my mood.
