Wasting a day
I went to see my mom today and it was the typical day of visiting then doctor then nurses then this and that. I watched for two hours as the nurses came in and bathed and changed my mom, and then when they had everything perfect, they had to do it all over again. I told them they make it look easy and that they make me happy I have my job and not theirs. Sheesh.
Then I went and met my brother for lunch that extended for five hours of reminiscing and talking about the future. We sat at Live Bait because R&O’s was packed.
We talked about how it was weird to hear one of us remember something we have no recollection over, how raising kids is very different than what we expect it to be, and how life is fundamentally not fair – albeit, we are pretty happy with our lot. He had just been fishing and taking some time to look at the lake and I had been to spin class before mom. We’re sort of doing what we do and hoping to be making the right decisions and praying along the way that most of them are the right ones.
