Bohemian.....

I don't mean Bohemian as in unconventional, or artsy....I mean plain, earthy and real. That is pretty much how I would like to describe myself. It just dawned on me that thats the way I feel is usually a little "bohemian". I sometimes wear "different" type of clothing,...no hippy-chick here; just me....being me. Add sensitive to bohemian, and you get a realistic, earthy, but touchy human being....yup that would be me these days.
I'm fed up with so many things, my patience runs thin at work as there seems to be a virus in the air that makes people complain, say things they have no business saying/asking. I know I'm tired and hyper-sensitive so I am doing my level best to heighten my patience level, but sometimes it has reach it's limitations and I need to "walk away".

So much going on within the family unit. My Dad will see yet another specialist tomorrow....it is so difficult for him to even get from the apartment into the car never mind find the strength to go to a appointment, but it's what needs to be done. Poor Dad will be completely wore out after tomorrow afternoon. He has lost approx. 50 pounds now, he's so thin in comparison to what he used to be. He rests about 70% of the day, the other 30% take up watching a little tv, having a meal ...that's about it. He remains pain-free, what a blessing that has been. He has had a few melancholy moments, those are so terribly tough on the heartstrings. But, for now we are content to know that he is pain-free and peaceful remaining at home with Mom tending to 99.9% of his needs. She's not really healthy either, what with her having battled breast cancer, a heart condition and her constant battle with leukemia....but she's an independent, feisty woman who won't give in to much.....tenacious would be a good word to describe my Mother.
She has been by Dad's side constantly through these past weeks, tired and weary but there!

Our daughter took a trip to emergency on Monday. Went on to have some surgery Monday night, a little stay overnight in hospital and then sent home to recover. She is a tough little cookie and doing everything she can to heal quickly. Her husband is a great guy, watching over their little girl, watching over his wife and trying to keep life in balance.

Life sure can be a roller coaster sometimes. But, this old gal is trying to have her feet firmly planted on the ground, her faith strong and putting in one day at a time. The bohemian part just adds some "depth" to my life, I'm thinkin'......
