I’m back in San Francisco. The first phase of dealing with my mum has been completed. This is a very good thing. So the next phase begins. I’ve been decompressing for the past week or so getting ready to deal with the next phase because getting her up here is going to be more of a problem than I had previously imagined. And I did not think it was going to be easy.
There is a certain amount of shell shock having dealt with the first phase, but I am getting out of it. People who know me, tell me that I sound like me again, which is good for me, but not always good for them.
a friend whose mom has Alzheimer’s and is in the process of moving his mom to be closer to him told me, “now I understand why you sounded the way you did.” I’m still not quite me , but I’m definitely moving back in that direction.
it does look like her condition is worsening in some ways, but she does seem to keep marching on.
I can definitely feel I am out of shape where the writing is concerned. The past few months my writing has been more or less limited to an atheist word which I am a member of. Recently, and Ayn Rand Pro White supremacy Hitler denier, or I should say Holocaust denier has invaded the happy list. So I’ve been busy finding that fight. But other than that, not too much on the writing front.
I have been working on a new edit of the Mr. Hell script. I have a few new ideas that I can work in to the existing material and is appropriately nightmarish. I’ve also started doing a NASA study, which is fun. It is a piece of exercise equipment that may end up on the space shuttle, or space station. One of the problems, apparently is muscle loss and bone density loss because of the loss of gravity. The phase I am doing is a leg only exercise, which is kind of sad, but I’ll get over it.
