Keep Calm And Carry On

For the last week I have been on a roller coaster of emotions.  My Mother was in the hospital and her resulting injury meant she would have to be placed in a nursing home.  It is the best place for her but the connotation is just dreadful.  I have cared for her the last five years at home and it will be a big adjustment for all of us. I have found myself in a dither.  Everything has been unsettled and frankly I have felt a little like a hamster on a very unpleasant wheel.  I decided today that the only concrete thing I can do is to "calm my ass down."  That is a catch phrase my family uses when we are trying to defuse an uncomfortable situation and make each other laugh.  I am going to take my own Vintage Chick advice and "Stay calm and Carry On."  I will be posting about junk and trying my best to get on with things I can enjoy.  Thanks for your good wishes and patience.
