I would like to read a book about a mid-thirties womans' life that involves living with her parents and barely working, much less living a life. I have a friend who has a niece living this story.
Not naming names, but said niece, we shall call Pam, does indeed live with her stay at home mom and dad. Only child, sheltered and somewhat enabled by mom with real and imagined medical issues. Pam joins an online Bible study group and finds "Hans" from Germany. They correspond, he is a divorced guy with a couple of kids. After a few months, he flies over to the small town to meet Pam and family.
Three weeks later, they marry and she moves to Germany to start a new life. Her first boyfriend, her first plane ride, her first time living outside her parents' home. WTF? Does that take guts or what? Got to give her credit for better late than never trying to live a life. Can't wait to see what happens. It's very fascinating to me.
This is my latest and greatest pondering in between taking my Mom to numerous blood tests and doctor visits due to her ongoing depression. Not sure if it's Parkinson's related or post-fall guilt PTSD variety. Her glucose levels are very high, so that means another round of visits to her primary, shrink and counselor. She'll be missing our family reunion next weekend which is too bad, but she isn't in any shape to take care of herself.
Trusty and I have been enjoying our summer work tremendously. He is so good with the kids at Camp Korey and the elderly folks at assisted living. I was a bit concerned when one woman in Memory Care started screeching, "Oh, you're so sweet, so cute!!" and flapping her arms about, but he just took it in stride. He is quite tolerant of all his fans, as am I. My latest icebreaker is to ask why he can't talk to us? The answer is, of course, that he is a little hoarse.
That is my report.
