@Determined, @Former-Member, anyone else...
Still all quiet on Older Daughter's part.
Hubby and I are both having up and down days. The process of Hubby applying for DSP is moving forward in managable sized steps so far.
I came across a comment in a news article recently about the average lifespan from the time someone enters aged care being about 3 years. I think that's been sitting in the back of my mind disturbing me, because my parents have been in their aged care home for a bit more than that. It's odd thinking that they are probably approaching the status of "long term residents". And I've been having odd dreams too, sort of along the theme of doing a big job to help out a group of people, while at the same time being socially on the outer edge of said group. Am wondering if that's my mind trying to deal with "big job at parents' empty house" in place where I once lived, but have few ongoing personal connections.
I'm not into dream interpretation along the lines of "if you dream about "x", it's a symbol of "y"", but I have often found that when the same theme in different forms keeps turning up, it usually means something is bothering me. Don't know if I can do anything about this one though, apart from keeping muddling through it. Our next trip up ther will be at the beginning of the school holidays, and will be the first time there since November. Both I haven't been able to face doing the trip alone, and the AC has failed at their house, so it would have been horribly hot.
