It’s Summer Solstice today. And I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!! For next year. Tonight will be a time of celebration.
But back to more important things. I’ve gotten a little away from the aliens (though I do think it’s almost time to watch Roswell again) and have become enamored of vampires. Most specifically, those created by Charlaine Harris. Charlaine, you are my hero and my savior these days. I have become a crazed Sookie fan. And I am in love with Eric the Viking Vampire (sorry Jason, but you’re still on my wallpaper and in my heart). After all, all my life Dad told me “Your ancestors were Vikings”. Okay, so I’m a bit nuts. But I am laughing and having fun with it.
Coming back out of the black cloud and feeling once more that transformation is possible. If I can transform myself into a sleeping zombie, I can transform myself into something else, right? So I feel lighter and more in tune with the universe and though my parents’ ailments (particularly my dad’s pain) are difficult to be present with, I am able to spend a little time with them both.
I’m learning how to deal with Mom’s dementia. I can tell her I’ll be back in a little while and she’ll never remember. Friday Dad got a Father’s Day gift from the nursing home where Mom lives and I forgot to bring it into his room at the assisted living place, so I told him I’d give it to him Sunday and by that time he’d have forgotten about it and I could tell him it was from me. That got a laugh out of him. And that was good.
Now it’s time to finish enjoying my longest day and my new job security (at least for the next year).
