i haven't been sleeping all that great the last 2 nights
woke up and stayed up since 2am Sumday
and so i went to sleep early last night and woke up at 3 or 4 this morning
and the HEAT - i have to take mom to appts today and tomorow
my BFF - the one i travel with (same BD month) asked if i would like to go to Boston Fri/Sat and returning Sunday
let me see if Pancake and brother can help look after mom
i wont go into detail on what my mom needs but believe me Pancake would just need to be here in the day time - give my mom some food / drink and keep her compnay and look to see she is not laying down on the floor (if she fell - being snarky) - brother would stay overnights and be here on weekend and ask Pancake for a few hours Sat/Sun
I do everything - make all the doc appts and accompany
she has bladder cancer - so i wont go into details - i leave her alone for a few hours at a time to feed squirrels or go grocery shopping - that's it - i dont meet friends for the day - i may go to brother's house for dinner and hang with his daughter (niece) when she visits - we all live within 10 minute WALKING distance
pancake's response

she is a healthy 74 year old - it isn't like she will have to carry OUR mom on her back and going uphill for 5 hrs - she traveled the world on cruises (prior to covid)- goes to the local senior ctr to go swimming daily NOW - she isn't disabled - blind in 1 eye or needs an oxygen tank - she is just a FLIPPIN' PANCAKE
so my brother said to me - let's contact her daughter - my older niece
she said yes - of cousse after checking her schedule - she will need to travel about 2 hrs on the subway or pay 70.00 for uber - to be here Friday morning
she was the one that cooked my BD meal and prepared meals for us both when DB and I were traveling to and from hospital in April when mom was admitted
i hope i have great weather in boston - eat lots and have fun
and all goes well at home
pls send us all some good vibes - and if anyone has a spare ❤️ laying around - pancake seems to have a missing part
