Well, are you?
I see how much we all have to deal with, and in a way I'm lucky in that I don't live with my mum (I think I would have swung for her by now) but even I find myself having to remember to be kind to myself. I'm generally on tenterhooks waiting for the phone to ring informing me of the latest crisis and I don't think I will really be free from that feeling when she goes into a home, which will be sooner rather than later.
Tomorrow I will be going to see the Threepenny Opera at the local cinema which will be broadcast live from the National Theatre and I'm looking forward to it immensely. My phone will be switched OFF.
Those of you that live more closely to this disease than I do, are you able to have some respite? We put our own lives on hold, and it's so unfair.
