Mark's mother was extremely ill; we nearly lost her. Physically she is back on her feet but the Altzeimers has progressed at an alarming rate since her illness - the upshot being she will be moved to a care facility this week. It's been a really rotten time quite frankly; how often do we see other peoples agendas rise to the fore in difficult times and all this does is make a sad situation even more stressful. Amongst all this, my dear husband was first on the scene at a terrible fatal car accident just around the corner from us. A few days later we were told it was the youngest son of people we've known for years. So, so sad.
Anyway there's a lot to be done now, a home of 60 years to be emptied and sold. A lifetime to be fitted into a couple of suitcases.
In her more compos mentis moments Mark's mum is fine about going to the facility - that has made it a little easier on the family.
So life is busy, hectic and perhaps stressful at times but it's also funny, happy, with just a bit of crazy thrown in for good measure. That's life after all.
I'm making some lavender oil this week come hell or high water. I want to use some of the gorgeous stuff I've got growing in a pot outside my kitchen window. I'll tell you about it tomorrow . For now I'm going to sit outside and enjoy the sun.
