I’d love to visit with everyone, but the weekend is when I have to stay and watch over my poor old mama. She’s mostly okay, 95% of the time, but there’s times where her mind just blanks out and she’s lost in a fog. Yesterday she went for a walk across the road to the old barn, got lost, and was unable to find her way back. I took my eyes off her for two minutes just to set up a doctor’s appointment on the phone, and it took me 45 minutes of hunting and yelling before I finally found her and got her back home. Honestly, I was about two minutes away from calling 911 and reporting a lost elderly woman with Alzheimer’s!
As much as I’d love to sit and chat with everyone, I just don’t trust getting wrapped up in a video conversation with others, when she might just wander off and get herself into trouble without my full attention. Maybe I’ll be able to join in the next one.
