I had planned to go to Jikoji this morning to sit, to have our weekly planning meeting, to reinforce the "do not unplug" aspect of the outlet in the community room with a replacement outlet and a few tiewraps, but by 2 AM I knew it would have to wait. "2 AM Jen" and I were up, talking through the upset she was trying to process related to her mom. It's a challenge, has been before, and a conversation with her brother yesterday triggered her to a point of despair. I recognize in her a level of sensitivity and venerability I have when it comes to the way my son can treat me. My response is typically anger and disbelief Her's is self doubt and hurt. I can react to these incidents with less empathy than she needs. I get protective of her, even when she is the one treating herself poorly. It's easy and obvious for me to see the whole picture because I am fully outside the frame. It's a complex and complicated situation, and not unique. She's doing much better today. I took my mom to her second chemo appointment and that too had it's share of difficulty. Her hip and knee were giving her trouble. I anticipate she will rebound while knowing that might not always be the case. I finally got in gear on rerouting the sump pump. 80 % of the way, at least. I just need a tube and some river rocks. Lucky walked with me tonight to get the car. He did great-the pork rinds are helping to train him to heal. FINALLY!
