I need to open up publicly about something. My mother is in hospice care. She's going to a private facility today. She has congestive heart failure, lots of damage to her heart and isn't healthy enough for surgery.

Right now, I'm just trying to preserve some level of normalcy, keep the animals fed, the house somewhat straight and get my mom what she needs to be happy and content day to day.

Keep us in your hearts and minds. I'm not at all religious but she is so pray if you wanna pray. She's not in any confusion or pain and is accepting the changes as best as can be hoped for.

Me, tho. Things don't hit me until weeks after they happen and the work is done, because "the work" tends to sidetrack me... but the tremor for this one is gonna be a big one, I feel. For now, though, cleaning and meditating, and then I'm headed back to the hospital to see her to her hospice room.

Currently reading some Greek and Roman history. I got a bunch of History epubs and I've been picking through them, playing Elden Ring, and trying to keep sane.
