OMG. I can so relate. If you heard just my side of my conversations with my mother, you would …laugh or cry… I dunno. But my coworkers laugh and I always have to tell them what the “other side” was about because my answers are always so absurd sounding! (My mom has MS and lives in a wheelchair community for people with spinal cord problems. Between disagreements w caregivers, other residents, and the kitchen – coupled with the fact that she can’t hear what I say so I have to shout – and since she doesn’t get out much she doesn’t have much to talk about – I’m just glad my coworkers know I’m not enjoying myself on a personal call but rather trying to deal with impossible situations! Yesterday it was a 10 minute conversation about which of our dogs (throughout both of our lifespans) kissed the most. I better get some of that Tulsi.

I’m also grateful for kind coworkers who have to listen to my (yelling to be heard) side of increasingly frequent family calls. If you weren’t several states away, I’d invite you over for a cuppa and to swap war stories.

…and then I’d read you a book :) xoxoxo
