I'm back now, arrived after they were well asleep, and got my computer back together and hooked up. Don't know what my reception will be tomorrow, but for now I'm thinking that I've had a great week of going and doing and being free of obligations beyond my own choosing. And that will change somewhat, with the resumption of my care-giver responsibilities. But I will retain the expectation of "time off" daily -- between the hours of 4 to 7, when my mother's behavior turns alcoholic -- and will use that time to focus on my career choice, my own identity. The lucky part is, they can afford to hire a replacement for me, if they recognize that help is needed then.... as I hope SHE will.
Stay tuned.....
