Just another quick post… still in Augusta, but will be heading home soon. Two hospice nurses came (as well as a bunch of people to visit my dad) and moved him into the hospital bed in the living room. He seems a bit more comfortable now.
My emotions are all over the place: sad, numb, angry, surprisingly okay, patient, impatient, resentful, disappointed, annoyed, overwhelmed, resigned, irritated, stressed, deflated, exhausted (well, that one has stayed pretty steady)… basically anything you can think of.
I am really looking forward to the Desiree Alliance conference. I’m also really looking forward to SLEEPING, and spending “alone time” with Rusty. (I don’t mean sex, although I’m looking forward to that, too; but I wouldn’t use a stupid euphemism like “alone time” for sex.)
Thanks again to others who have called/emailed since I last wrote. At the moment I feel too emotionally worn out to return calls and such (hope you understand), but I really do appreciate it.
Okay gotta go eat the onion rings Rusty got me from Burger King. Such healthy eating, I know.

Good to see a post, to know you’re kicking out there. Again, I’m sorry this sucks. I mean, of course it sucks, it’s kind of the way of this sort of thing, but you know what I mean. Try to be in the moment as much as possible in Chicago, and take care of yourself.
Hey Amber,
Continuing to send you good energy and lots of love.
Hang in there,
Maeve
Take care of yourself Amber. Sending s ome good mojo vibes your way.
Delurking since I briefly met you and Rusty a couple weeks ago at Manuel’s. I wanted to say how sorry I am for what you are going through with your father. Good luck.
