Not All Days are About Them
Today was a me day. Yes, caregivers need time off. I spent mine visiting a sick friend and then entertaining myself at the casino. I took twenty dollars and had some fun. It was o.k. Not that I want to gamble all the time, but this was one of those days that it really helped to be in a very highly charged atmosphere, where you don't have time to think. It was great. It was about one hour of complete down time and it felt great. No thoughts of anything or anyone going through my mind. It sure was worth twenty dollars. The only job I had today was to call my parents and inform them of a cancellation for Gertrud's cat scan and set up a new appointment. Totally easy today!
