Where have I been? It hasn't been fun.

Some of you are asking why I haven't posted for a while. I've still been too busy, but it hasn't been fun.

I was in California helping my elderly mother whose health has deteriorated. I was cooking, cleaning, running errands, and taking her to multiple doctor's appointments. The visiting nurse was coming. A nutritionist was coming. And, a social worker was scheduled to talk to her about options regarding assisted living, moving in with one of her kids--something.

She has a husband who is 4 years older, but his health is failing too. He is a stubborn man and very difficult to deal with.

So that is where I've been.
