*peeks* Hello and good evening, just popping in for a quick little moment. Hope everyone is doing well.

Always good to see you on, JinMay, i'm doing good, how about your self?

[JinMay]

Hey Lemon! Always a treat to see you. Glad that you're doing well. I'm alright, just rather exhausted. It's been a hectic day today and it's warm now which I don't particularly enjoy. My dad had his pre op yesterday and they did a bunch of tests on him. Bu hey did schedule the surgery so now we just wait for that day to come. My boyfriend is planning on visiting tomorrow. He has a going away party this weekend so I'm debating on if I'm gonna go or not.

It's nice you can spend time with your boyfriend, and hopefully he can lift your spirits. I am sure he will understand you wanting to be close by for your parents to give them support & know you might need to rest at this time. But if you decide to go it could be a good break for you as well.

Waiting for appointments and the not knowing is mentally stressful & I feel for you.
You must be a blessing to your family & I am sure they appreciate you being there for them.

[JinMay]

I'm the oldest child, it's my responsibility in my hispanic upbringing, to be the strong one and to help out the most. It is mentally draining though you're right. I haven't gotten much sleep lately, and even when I do, I'm just drowsy. But I've done as much as I can. I help with appointments and with house chores. Yeah I don't want to go because I feel what I need to stay here. Where I am needed... but I also want to try and have fun. I think I need to talk to my boyfriend about it tomorrow though. See what he thinks.

If he's a good boyfriend he should be understanding, and considering he's YOUR boyfriend I'll assume he's a good one because you have good taste
Just looking at your avatars shows your good taste!

JinMay : yes, talk to your boyfriend about it but know that it is okay for you to do something for yourself and it is okay to ask your other family member's for help. They also are part of the family & helping each other out is a blessing in itself.

So many of my older customers get fatigued caring for their ailing spouses it is very sad to see. I don't want that to happen to you, then you are of no help even to yourself. You have a long road ahead of you still with the surgery and recovery time so if you have the energy then do something fun with your boyfriend. And ask for help, put structure in place for others to follow... if you got sick they would have to so prepare them ahead so they aren't floundering if they suddenly had to take over. I know they are younger but they are capable of some tasks. How about Aunts or Uncles?

It's lovely your boyfriend can be a steady source of strength for you, JinMay.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I try to look for something positive in each day.

[npixelz]

That's a good habit to have

Sometimes we have to work at good things to happen.

And sometimes we seem to get showered with blessings.
