I hear myself saying regularly, I just want to be "settled". Being between New Orleans and France, I worked at "re-settling" in New Orleans. Thoughout this re-settling process, I've also been making frequent trips to St. Louis.
Coming up on the one-year anniversary of our parents in assisted living, with on-going problems that can be intense; it's beginning to look like double-teaming is going to be necessary to offer additional support to Kat and hopefully push this process a little further. Kat's husband, Tom, is wonderful. We've been working with a Geriatric Case Manager that has been incredible. But it is seeming that there are just some things that need a family team of two.
I never really thought of my life as "portable"...flexible, yes...but, portable-no. The circumstances of my life and work are such, that I am able to pick up and spend extended periods of time in other places. Ah, France! But now, we're adding St. Louis to that list. As my plans unfold for France this summer, Sammie cat and I will be driving a rental car to St. Louis from where we will be "round-tripping". We'll begin our St. Louis stay in September and see where it takes us and for how long. I know that a lot can happen between now and then, but we have our plan in place and we're ready. Another adventure to add to the list, and another base to this bridge.
Here's to new adventures - I hope we survive it all! Love, KB
