Too close to home

Just when I was starting to feel better things started to close in on meand get too heavy again.

I am supposed to be house-sitting for my mom while she is on a lovely cruise with her best friends but last night when the internet wouldn't work and I was left sitting in a den full of pictures my dad used to keep on his desk at work and the books he used to read and the ashtrays he collected and it just felt too real. All night I tossed and turned and when I woke up Michael and I were both grumpy.

I emailed my mom and let her know the dogs would be fed and interacted with but I wasn't up to sleeping there.
