I watch a young couple counting money on the table next to me...food court...while the young man takes a picture of his brand-new sneakers from addidas. post that on instagram...while I listen to the drummer boy. Three tables down...selfies...while the cleaning crew desperately try's to keep up with the never ending disaster of dirty tables.. So I look up...really...woman do you have to wear sleeper pants in the mall? Am I the only person that is annoyed by it...must have made a face...she looked at me  As I look down the isle of restaurants...I ask myself how many calories...each restaurant serves their customers today... Not that it matters to anyone... Young men sit down 2 tables over...they are soldiers...the look so young...or am I getting old?

Over the last year things have changed for me. I have become my husbands caretaker... have to remind him of appointments, drive him there, make sure I write lists and reminders for him during the day.. put up reminders on the stove, in the bathroom, constantly text and have people checking on him..... while I got to work full time and work a second job... my house...well let me say my house...does not look the way I would like it to look anymore...and the few hours that I have on weekends....well I am babying my knee...which needs an operation. So over the holidays, I got a phone call. Someone is clearly worried about me...what are you doing for yourself? Are you seeing friends? Are you having outside contacts? Nope. nope ...nope... What are you going to do about it? I am scared that something happens to him while I am gone...and over my fear and guilt I have become very lonely...so yes this person has more then one good reason to worry about me. Well, my attention...
