| A Key to Keep |
You know it's true.
I am so sick of this COVID shit. And it ain't over either. I knew it was going to be a thing in January. However I certainly did not expect it to become such a shit show as it has been. And the cases keep rising because people are clearly stupid.
I had to make a quick trip out to my home state as my father was not coping well at all out there. Despite my parents divorce, my dad was spiraling down after my mother's death and was not in a good place physically or mentally at all. Thank God for his neighbor. I cannot thank that man enough.
So...in the midst of dealing with my mother's affairs and needing to clear out the house, I put things on hold and grabbed a flight out to the Natural State to help my dad get back on his feet. However prior to my arrival dad did make some steps of his own and got into counseling. I am super proud of him for doing that. That's a very hard thing to do especially his generation. They did not talk about depression or anxiety back in the day. It was not acknowledged or accepted. And if you were really ill you were sent away to an institution and never heard from again. So kudos to you dad for making that very bold step.
I am tired and weary. I am slowly getting myself back into a routine to tackle responsibilities before I return to work. There is much to do but I will limit myself to so much-I have to. It's the only way to keep my own sanity. Or insanity if you will. haha...
I am so thankful for my friends who have been so supportive and have continued to text and call through all this mess, even when I was in Arkansas. It's kept me afloat. It truly takes a village folks. Regardless of where your village may be or where your tribe exists even if they are from afar.
In the meantime keep it easy. Times are tough enough. Remember the little things and take time for those little moments because it's all so important. As for myself, I will keep moving forward as always. Until next time...elizinashe
