Adjusting

Don't get me wrong, having some free time before I start work has been great. But getting used to a new routine has been a little weird just because taking care of my Dad still requires me getting up early, albeit not til 8 am instead of 6:30 am.

For many of my friends now that have babies of their own I kinda know what they go through since my Dad is still recovering from his open heart surgery, he's still limited to what he can do. The main difference being that he is fully grown and harder to lift and carry. Having to constantly help him get in and out of bed, making sure he doesn't fall when he walks, taking him to and from the bathroom, as well as helping him take a shower definitely takes its toll.

Still, I'm grateful that I am around to be able to help him and my Mom because she's still dealing with pain from her right knee replacement surgery. With both parents being on the mend and working full time, it's been hard staying in touch with people and for that I am truly sorry. Now that my Dad is doing a lot better I'm hoping to rectify that very soon.
