My mom told the aide who came to be with her this afternoon, “this is my youngest son. The only way I remember his name is Jeffrey is because he’s my youngest son.” Makes me wonder about the likelihood of her forgetting who I am. She has asked me recently what my middle name is…

I revisit this meme every year at this time of the year. Unfortunately I feel bad posting it if it’s not the first day of fall as I’m some type of slacker

The worst part about complicated sleep apnea is you find yourself wondering, “is this extreme fatigue really that different from how I normally feel or am I dehydrated from having diarrhea for 48 hours” in other news, I really miss coffee

My mom just asked me what year my dad (her husband) died. I promptly answered 2019. She asked me how I remembered that so easily. Wasn’t sure if I should respond that it’s the same year my ex and I separated or because I have it tattooed on my body, but I just said it’s hard to forget

Two doctor’s appointments in the next three weeks. Hopefully one of them will be a magic bullet to make me feel more human.

In the past two days I have cleaned up throw up twice and one massive poop explosion. So glad I am taking Monday as a mental health day from work because who knows what the weekend will hold.

We have a beautiful woman getting married next week & one of her best friends (who is also a part of Rise) is, as of right now, going to have to miss the wedding because of finances. Is there anyone who has airline miles who might be able to make their dream of sharing this day together possible?

I applied for a job today. Not even sure if it’s a job that I want. Even if my hands were made of super glue I don’t think I’d be able to catch a break. Just more reasons to hate my life.

Something really tragic during my trip to the ER with my mom. My kindle died. I don’t mean battery died. I mean backlight comes on, but no words appear for me to consume as if I will get rewarded with a free pizza for each book I finish. Is this what it’s like people try to quit smoking?

Some days when I am caring for my mom she thinks she can out stubborn me. Even though she has been stubborn a lot longer than I have been. I have mastered the art of stubbornness from the one who taught it to me.

I went on a date on Monday. Afterwards I sent her a text saying I had fun and think we should do it again. She didn’t respond back, so I’m thinking that is a sign she wants me to pursue her since she didn’t say no…

I’m tired of living life in survival mode. It’s gotten so bad that last night I had a dream about doing laundry (and i’m not even that behind on laundry). Why cant i have relaxing dreams, like sipping mai tai’s on the beach while reading a book?

Some days I wonder what amount of sadness is normal for a life I didn’t choose. The level of grief in buried dreams and an uncertain future is off the charts. You can be anything you want to be, except for when you are the caretaker for a loved one. Then you can be anything, but free.

The thing about working from home is that there are times where you think, “I’m going to lay down for ten minutes to clear my overwhelmed mind” and then the next thing you know you are waking up from an hour long nap.

Many days I can’t imagine what thriving looks like, but i can see putting what foot in front of the other. So I just keep moving with hopes that brighter days are ahead. I may not be able to picture what it looks like past the storm clouds, but I know the journey isn’t for nothing.

How badly did I want contacts when I was younger? That’s a great question, thanks for asking! In high school I fed my glasses to the dog and told my parents, “my glasses keep breaking. I guess the only solution is for me to get contacts.”
