I'm sorry...
Aug. 29th, 2009 08:50 amFor not having updated for quite some time, for not answering the comments of you lovely people, for not reading anyone's journal for days. I really am.
It wasn't done by intention. I was just so busy with school restarting, worrying about Mum, sitting on endless meetings, worrying about Mum, running to the hospital in every free minute, worrying about Mum, cooking for Mum, cleaning out my classroom for the new term, worrying about Mum, writing teaching plans, worrying about Mum, trying to keep the flat reasonably clean and ordered, worrying about Mum... I'm just so very tired.
We still don't have any news, and it's been almost three weeks by now. Have given in and bought Mum a mobile phone so that she can at least chat with her friends when she's bored and I can reach him whenever I'm too worried...
I can't promise to be any better during the next fortnight, I'm sorry. At least not until I've found some funktioning order around my new working schedule, which will be insane enough this year. Again, three afternoons spent at school, but this year not even the same three afternoons in week A and week B (we have a two-week-timetable). It will be Hell to remember which week we are having. Ah, well, I'll manage somehow, it's not the first time. If only they could heal Mum and send her home, it would be so much easier. :(

It sounds like both of you are handling this with much grace and courage. Love to you both x

More wishes for your Mum and hugs for you!

Your working schedule really sounds crazy, good luck with it!
