Wanted to pop in with an update.
DD passed her Physical Therapy boards. She tested on the 4th, got her answer on the 10th, moved to SC on the 11th and starts her new job tomorrow. Whew.
So I am really, totally an empty nester now.
Jersey - I partly replied on Becky's thread, but I wanted to continue here. It too don't ever want to do the caregiving thing again either. I may get stuck with it at some point, but I'm not putting myself out there. Too much PTSD right now. I found out just how profound that was with my friend's 50th protesting his BD party. Seeing his GF sent me reeling.
As to my grand daughter, I haven't seen her much over the last month. DD went for her interviews, so we were both quarantined from her for 2 weeks. Then we saw her on the 1st. Then DD's GF came in from Oregon and her DBF from SC last weekend so, I'm back on the quarantine list. I have another week to go.
Good news is, I finally connected with a neighbor who I knew lived here, but never ran into. DS had seen his father walking the dog a few years ago. This guy played hockey with DS kind of. We knew the fam from there. In the 3-4 weeks since we've reconnected, he's helped me tremendously. My own special angel. And I'm sure it gives my kids peace of mind that there is someone who can check on me should the need arise.
That's it for updates for now.
I do think of and miss all of you. Hugs
