Wow @TAB , you read a lot. Sure hope you do visit your dad soon, 95 is amazing! Does he have his faculties? My dad has moderate+ vascular dementia.
Proud of myself, I actually did it 😁 Made it to Sydney and trying to go to sleep 1am. Had to take analgesia for the back and hip pain and waiting for it to kick in... thought I'd Betta let you know I made it ok. Left 2pm & arrived Sydney 5:30 which is pretty good considering all the roadworks. Grabbed a coffee @ dog friendly cafe, then visited dad with munchies. He was already in bed (6pm grr), but in good spirits and shaved etc. Seemed more alert, and talkative, if he could just find those words 😞 Not sure he knew who I was but the heart familiarity connection was there. He called Georgia dog up onto the bed and they had a good cuddle. Bought him a chicken kebab on a stick... he didnt want it but enjoyed feeding Georgia a piece at a time, actually, every second piece went into his mouth 😉 that was cute. I left around 8pm, had coffee with a friend who was happy for me to sleep in her backyard... in the car of cause. I have my spring mattress in the back, first time on this one actually and it's reeeeeealy comfe. Brang Georgia's bed and she's snoring beside me. Really quiet here, safe ,feels like I'm on camp actually. So wish I had my Kidz with me doing this stuff, didn't really happen all those struggling years of dv & family court. Get a lot of time to think driving on ya own, had a few tears, but on the whole the drive was great... I just love the countryside, the rolling hills, and cattle, lots of little lambs along the way today, aww, so cute, but I especially love the high country, the blue mountains, the bellbirds, trees and quaint little roadside stores 😁. makes me feel alive. Georgia dog behaved all the way, especially amazing as I didn't stop once. She's happy if she can see me.
Catch up tomorrow, Nighty night 😴
