Nothing matters

Since my dad entered hospice a few days ago, everything has been mundane to me and sad. I didn't watch any of The Grammys the other night, and that's a first. I thought how trivial it was when I saw pics the following day online of fashion there. 😞 The Olympics are beginning this week, and I don't care, and my home team The Patriots are going to the Superbowl this weekend, and I'm not really excited. It's all a blur.

My dad and I were not close but he was the only parent I could occasionally bring up an issue to. And he could pass now anytime 🙁 (aggressive Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma). And what makes me sadder, besides the fact they did not recommend chemo Bec it would kill him sooner, is that he told my mom today, "I think I'm going to get better". It was HEARTBREAKING to hear it. They took him off the steroids too, the one thing that could at least cause less inflammation. His legs have purple bruises now, and fluid filled feet. It's just awful. I wish I could find joy but it's very hard right now.

Yep. That's the gig, unfortunately. Don't forget to hydrate and take care of yourself throughout this process, because you are still mortal and can become a super-dry sponge. Hey just like SpongeBob did in his first movie ever, which killed it at the Box Office, back in good ole 2004.



That takes your mind off things for a while, I hope it did @Coralmist...... for a full what, 40 seconds, if that.

Ah well. I hope everything goes well with the things. 🤗

@Levenrack Oh yes I would not have probably seen that movie if I hadn't been a nanny that year. I had just graduated college and was offered a nanny job at the school I did my practicum in!! The little boy was four, and his mom gave us money to go see that Sponge Bob movie. I thought it was funny!! The little boy loved the scene Patrick said "Did you see my underwear? " To a girl. The girl says No. And he says "Did you want to? " Lol. He retold me that scene in a pizza place we had lunch in after. So cute. I'll never forget that.🙂 Ty for mentioning it! That kid is now 22 🫨
