Modern Day Spinster

The expected definition of a spinster is to just be a single and never married woman. If it were only that simple. I am a daughter, sister, auntie, friend, babysitter, alumna, artist, writer, diva, comedienne, bitch, caregiver, confidante, adviser, stylist, cheerleader, singer, dancer, activist, referee, sinner, saint, lover and occassional dater. Watch as I try to balance multiple spinning plates of relationships, responsibiilities, and reactions to life.

Turn The Lights On

5 - 0 Bears are on their way.

I didn't have a chance to watch the game today. I was running around doing grocery shopping. Harried Hospital's Home Care rep assumed Fred wouldn't be sent over the weekend. Guess where I was when I got the call yesterday to go get him? Waiting in line at the tile store. This week's Grey's Anatomy episode had great one-liners about caregivers from Dr. Christina Yang (Sandra Oh). I don't know how the Thursday's ratings are shaping but I like the Friday scheduling. GA and then Men In Trees.

I have this bizarre heartburn that won't go away. It won't let me sleep or relax. I've tried every way I could think of short of standing on my head to get this burning/heaviness off of my chest. No, it's not a heart attack. All of the pains are center and veer to the right. Midnight and awake.

I could go into gross detail about the hole in Fred's skin where the bedsore used to be. It's packed with gauze soaked in saline and he won't let me change it. I'm grateful that at least it didn't hit bone.
