Hi pen friends! This past week that started Feb. 2nd was extraordinarily stressful and I am still dealing with a heavy load which has kept me from making a video this week.
I may be involved for quite awhile looking for solutions for Mom ... so I wanted to jump on and let you know why I am absent.
Her assisted living discharge appeal was postponed and we are once again applying for long terms care. This has happened several times where her health has gotten better or worse while waiting for resolution of the "case" or for evaluation for higher level of care.
My husband's sibling suffered a massive heart attack this past week too and thank God survived got some stents and now faces a bypass surgery.
I feel I need to really be careful with self care and concentrate on family right now. It may be awhile before I can return because Mom's case is particularly difficult.
Thank you for understanding and I hope to see you in the mailbox and around the comment sections of other fountain pen You Tubers ... as time allows lol.
Here is the video I was talking about and referring to when I mentioned the journal I picked for my "peace journal" as suggested by Brian at Down the Breather Hole:
