MINE, ALL MINE

Another squirrel blip.

Feeling very sleep deprived again so off to bed early. The trick is not to let the anxiety and adrenaline kick in when I hear Mum wandering about in the small hours, but I haven't mastered that trick yet. I keep telling myself that she's going to do it whether I'm here or not, but that doesn't help. Mum's carer, Mel, just called in and says that Mum is looking much stronger than last week when she was falling over so that's good, but I'm just on constant tenterhooks.

Mel's family home villages have been inundated and ruined by the super-typhoon in the Philippines, but she's just grateful that her family there are all safe. I must look for relief funds to donate to.
