Heading East

So I am heading to Media this Thursday to see my momma, and assess her situation with my own eyes.

She has been away from home since February 28th!! She is doing really well at the Riddle Village rehab, and is like the queen of the manor there. They have a gourmet chef, beauty salon, cooking classes....she's having a ball, and has also found a few church ladies that are there, too, so she is socializing full force. I don't think she realized how closed off she's been for the past 2 years in the house by herself. She enjoys being around people, so she actually is thriving in her current environment.

I will be home until the 30th, unless ak comes and gets me after 2 weeks. He's been threatening to on a regualr basis. I could be there to celebrate my 40th, who knows? Mom and I have a lot to talk about, and plans to make for the future.

Along with hanging with my main girl, I am looking forward to seeing all the good buddies :)

Ok...I am getting myself together here, and making sure ak doesn't starve while I am gone or run out of undies.

See you soon, peeps!

i am here! Mom good - home Sunday. She picked an apt at riddle village for indepedent living, so house will be sold. It is sad, but mama's quality of life is priority.
It's been rough - mom's roomate dying of brain cancer. I stayed all night with them and held her hand, sponged her brow ... I thought she was not going to make it - hard to see, but we are trying to give her lots of love.
Sucks to get old, peeps.
More soon :)
