ER overload

[Lupita]

Good evening Hop, did you go to the hospital? How is she doing? How is her mood? Is she content with the service she is receiving?
I am glad that you are sleeping better. Taking care of an elder is exhausting.

Sorry to hear that your baby girl is stressed out. Guess that is life. I do not know any single person that is not stressed out. My son is too. And he is only 21. Two jobs and full time college student.

I just told Lea, we have so much in common.

God bless you. Hope to hear from you tomorrow.

Love,

Lupita

Well, Mom's all tucked in at a local rehab center for 7-10 days of PT. I think overall she'll enjoy it because she inevitably knows people and hasn't socialized much all winter. They'll work on her walking and balance and some general muscle tone, and expect her to come home after that.

So I have a week to myself. It feels...amazing. Spacioius. Peaceful. Exciting. Great.

Tomorrow at work we do a photo shoot I've been working on for weeks, very exciting.

thanks for asking Lupita and pals.

love,

Thanks much, ((((((((((Leah, GS, Lupita))))))))))

The photo shoot was wonderful, in a beautiful eco-designed home with an amazing view.
I won't go into product details, but I will say that I love it that our model has never done modeling before, is simply a lovely person with a beautiful smile. She's neither blonde nor anorexic, and she's 44!

Makes me happy. The whole thing went beautifully and the photog even took a few shots of me standing by a window that I can use for my profile if I want to try online dating again! (Was fun b/c I've had no pix taken for two years, since I began to grow out my halogen-white hair.)

I coudln't see in the viewfinder but he said one was a great shot. He's taken portraits of actors, so maybe it'll help me find my geezer!

Hops,

It's so good to hear you so excited and happy.  I'm also Glad to hear you mom is doing good.  Enjoy the time off from being care giver.  You definitely need this break.  and YEAH for the OLD CHICKS or OLDER CHICKS. That is why I loved that movie the Calendar Girls. 

Love

Me too, 56 on the outside, half that on the inside.

Poor Mom is already complaining that she wants to go home.

Stopping by there every evening and having to repeat that conversation will be something kind of draining. But...I can shake it off (I hope).

I would really like to stay unhooked, whether she's there for 2 days or a week.
Every piece of time alone at home is precious to me.

Wow,
The photo shoot sounds wonderful and fulfilling. And you sound like a hot tamale
I am glad your mom will be in the center for a bit. I bet she will appreciate having others around her, as you said, to chill and hang with
I guess you can walk around the house in your birthday suit this weekend!! And dance to loud music!!! And hoot and holler. Or do all three...
