 I have decided to declare a me day. 

 

I started by getting my hair cut, which it has needed for a long time. Once it is in my eyes, I tend to wear a lot of hats to keep it out of my eyes. I also ran out of the gel I use to make my hair stand up nicely.

 

The rest of the day is where my whimsy takes me. I am pretty sure it is taking me on a walk later this afternoon. There will be books read and some game playing too along with the petting of the cats.

 

This lesson of taking time for myself took me a long time to learn. And a lot of therapy with encouragement to take care of myself. If I have nothing in the tank, I cannot help the people I need to help. I don’t need to act like a martyr in all this. Yes, it is complex, wearying, frustrating life right now. But if that is all I live, then I am going to be a poor caretaker. 

 

I was getting very frustrated in some things I was doing and the system. The reboot of the health care was a blow. I had all the information in. I had it all. But no, they want to start over from the beginning. At least I know where that paperwork is. I hope I do. 

 

I need to find a real estate lawyer that is not too expensive. I must move the title from Peter’s name to our name or my name. Need to transfer the car title because Peter is never driving again. This is all for Medicaid mess. The car especially.

 

I am grateful for things that are going right.
