Oh man, if life could slow down just a little bit, that would be great.
My sister is going through some very intense personal stuff, and my mom spent all of last night in the hospital. She (my mom), had a small heart attack last year, and felt some chest tightness so went in to get checked out, and they held her over night.
My father died of a heart attack three months ago, so I am not at my best today.
Plus I’m exsausted (this would have been a long weekend anyway, without all the extra stress), didn’t get enough sleep, and its going to be 103 here today.
Time to break out the teas that are always nice.
I bought myself an ENORMOUS bag of Tower of London a month ago, and it is the best decision I’ve made in a hot minute. That thing is like a huge, tea-filled emotional support pillow. I think I’m going to need it.
The good news is I live in the same town as my mom (though the other side of it- I’m working on getting closer to her), so I can help. My siblings are further away, but that also means that I feel like I’m coping a bit by myself.
I’m ready for fall. This summer has sucked.

Bless your heart! I wish you were a thousand miles closer—I’m not a very nurturing person, but I do know how to give hugs. Glad you’ve got some good comfort tea at hand.
So very very sorry for your loss, Rosehips. It’s hard. And these insane times with COVID and the heat and now the worry about your mom. I hope that everything is ok and that she is safe and well at home soon. So much stress, so much worry. It sucks and I am sorry that you are going through this. I would also offer hugs and commiseration and tea. I am pleased that you are well stocked and supported by the teas that bring you comfort.
Another “I would hug you if you were closer.” I can’t hug you, but I will say a prayer for you, your, sis, and your mom.
