While I am working up the effort to post...
I'd like to say a thankyou to all my friends on here and on twitter (I'm struggling to keep up over there!) this year.
Thankyou for all your comments and support - my life is progressing in fits and starts at the moment and there are comments that I wanted to reply to and haven't worked up the effort to (I might, yet, you never know).
It has been a pleasure and an insight to know you all online - reading of other people's lives helps put my own into perspective better than much of the shallow contact I have with many of my RL friends.
Meeting Amy and Hanne (and Bunny) was a highlight of the year, I'm sorry it was only a flying visit.
May 2012 bring you all health and happiness and fulfilment of dreams.

But it's kind of difficult to imagine anything good/nice round the corner at the moment.

You just take one day at a time, and if you can somehow manage to escape the parents and aunt for a week somewhere (anywhere), I'm sure it will do you the world of good.

They'll have been married 59 years next month.
I am happy escaping to the sanctuary of my flat - with Tills - and don't have any desire to go anywhere else or leave her (I think she's got Dementia too, to be honest!) It's all the other stuff that I need to do that's a chore. Even my friends wanting me to "get out" is too much effort (although they have agreed to leave me be on New Year's Eve) - and I really need to get over to Pete's place and claim my stuff, what of his I want to keep and anything else before it all gets tidied into a skip. Trouble is, it's not my house to come and go as I please anymore...

Are there no daycare centres for your Dad? The Basque health service for example has daycare centres for people like your Dad, which whilst not the best thing, it would give your mum some relief, and probably not worry her so much given the horror stories in the press.
Mine had been married 56 years before Mum passed away, which puts them in age group of the very elderly.
I think it's important to get out at least a couple of times a month even though you don't feel like it. Many people don't like New Year's Eve including yours truly. I've always found it depressing even before Mum passed away.
Do make sure to get your personal belongings from Pete's place mementoes of him asap, because the family will probably be wanting to clear the place out after the festivities.

Has Itsas forgiven herself yet?
no subject
Not too sure if Itsas has forgiven herself yet or not, she still looks terribly upset when after asking for walkies I say we can't go, that she has to wait for one of my friends to come by - poor sod

Saw him again yesterday, and he's progressing well.

Trouble is it's very difficult to imagine anything other than things getting worse before they get better - it's easier not to imagine.

Thinking about you lots.

It's not a good time for me to be travelling at the moment, what with my folks; but with family in Vancouver, cycling friends in Portland and you near Seattle, I think the reasons for suffering another transatlantic flight to the West Coast are growing. ;-)
Assuming immigration will let me in this time!

Otherwise, get cracking with that teleport!
