LIFE UPDATE: Where I've been and where I'm going TW: will be talking about big sads and 💀 so pls take care when reading don't want to upset anyone hoping for a horny post lol. TLDR; Parents are getting old and require more care. Had issues with a sick cat right before I left. Looking at moving back to the Midwest in Jan of next year WHERE IVE BEEN: SOOOO. Percy got an upper respiratory infection and double eye infection two days before my flight home, AND HOURS before I had to leave my cat sitter could no longer watch him. It was a mess of stress between vet visits and eye creams and finding a last minute cat sitter down to apply said cream to a cat twice a day lol... The whole week I honestly spent the entire time just cooking food, mowing, cleaning up old forgotten hobbies and books that have collected over the years. And reteaching them smart devices they had forgotten how to use haha. It was far more emotional of an experience and I could expect not only reliving the past with my parents but facing the truth of how little time is left. It was a roller coaster of good and bad.. I got to help my dad take his last drive safely in a parking lot, celebrate my birth moms birthday, and figure out what my parents plans are with their latest health issues. WHERE AM I HEADED: I'm sure many of you are aware my dad had a stroke almost two years ago and things have only added on since with multiple cancer scares and other health ailments. My adoptive mother as well has been having increasing health issues affecting her mobility and overall energy levels. It's clear they require some sort of elderly assistance and being that I'm the youngest with no in office job holding me to a location, not married and don't have offspring it seems like the obvious choice that I would move back to the Midwest to help them. There's two possible locations either indiana or Chicago depending on where we are in the process of selling the house once my lease is up in AZ in Jan. Basically I'm grieving the living. They're not in hospice care or anything like that but just are no longer able to do or remember as much as they use to. The slow eventually is here and I just want to help them have as easy and happy of a time with it as I can, while also cherishing and making as many lasting last memories with them. There truly is nothing you can do to help me and I don't mean that in a defeatist way!! This is just a very emotional time for me. The best way yall can help is just distracting me with how yall are doing. Tell me things you're excited about and enjoying. Share happiness and spread love to other. If you read all of this rant.. thank you and all my love 🖤
