Man, life got crazy!

In the months since the last blog, my life has become one Hell of a roller coaster. To make a long story short, my father became ill, was hospitalized, then in a rehab, and has moved. Phew. Those events all occurred from the second week of July up until two weeks ago! Throw in four kids, back to school, and back to work you can imagine how busy I have been. So now my Dad lives just minutes from me which is so much more convenient than the half hour he used to. I can check on him as often as I want and if he needs me, I can be there in five minutes. He is living in a retirement type housing. He has his own studio apartment, and so far he seems to like it. He goes to a dining room for three meals a day so I know he is at least getting out around other people 3 times a day unlike when he lived by himself at home and sat inside all day long by himself, not talking to anyone. I know this has been a huge adjustment for him, but so far so good. I was worried that the adjustment from the home he has lived in for over 35 years would have been very difficult, but he was ready and knew that he couldn't live by himself any longer. The thing he misses the most is his dog.  So hopefully I will get back to blogging, at least more than once every six months.
