Today was a tough day for me. My mom was feeling horrible and was very needy. I am struggling with the state of my parents and the relationship we have. I do not see it ever getting better. They are too young to be this debilitated. Is this going to be how our relationship is going to be from now on?
I know that I need to really be focusing on my health and limiting my stress. How do I do that when I have parents who are so needy? How do I do that when they call on me and expect me to do what I am doing? How do I do it all alone? I am not that strong. I do it out of necessity. It is no way to live a life.
The good news of the day?
It rained most of today and I loved it. A typhoon hit Mexico and moved up to give us some rain. There was even thunder and lightening! It was amazing. It cleaned everything and of course made Californians run around in a panic. I have lived in California for over a decade and I do not know if I will ever get used to how the locals react to rain. I have been reading that we may be in for a wet winter thanks to an El Nino. I am trying not to get my high hopes up, but it would be nice. The experts say it will only put a dent in our drought, but every little bit helps!!
To lift my spirits I decided to go see Minions.
It was hilarious and just what I needed. It was silly and cute. It made me laugh. It was exactly what I needed to forget my problems for a couple of hours.
