A Little Nursing Going On

So... I just got home from a morning of nursing. Dad has not been well for a few days... his congestive heart ailment has once again been rearing it's ugly head. He has a severe build up of fluid on his leg. It is very painful and we are hoping the fluid doesn't move up on his lungs and heart. My mom is not a nurse... completely useless in any situation where Dad might need help... so I am doing what I can. It's really hard to deal with. Then when I got home... the ADHD s#%$%#head had gotten into a bunch of stuff in my studio. There are cotton rovings chewed and ruined. There are two balls of camel and silk yarn chewed to bits. There are wool rovings from one end of the house to the other and right now I am cleaning up the mess. Actually right now I am taking a few minutes to sit me arse down because I haven't sat my arse down this morning. I'm pooped and really did not need this fiasco to come home to.

I am supposed to be cooking food for my parents for supper so that Mom doesn't have to cook... I'm not sure it would be fit to eat if she cooked. And Dad can't get up at all. I'm sort of thinking that he should be in the hospital or at least have some home care.  I wish they were living here at the farm.... (in their own house cause I'd be in a straight jacket if they were in mine).... that way they would be close enough that I could keep an eye on them.

It has suddenly turned into that awful winter weather that I was so longing for last week. It is sunny and beautiful.... but damn cold. -32 degrees this morning when I got up.Why oh why did I want winter weather..... actually I was quite alright with the temperatures... I just wanted some sun... Slap me up the side of my head the next time I complain about warm and wind.... please.

So I am off to the kitchen for an afternoon of cooking casseroles to keep mom out of the kitchen where's she dangerous... and keep both mom and dad fed. As for the ADHD s#$%#%head..... she's outside where she can stay for a wee while!
