Spent the later half of the Friday evening volunteering with Guardian Ad Litem with their annual fundraiser, this year’s theme mimicked a Wizard of Oz theme toting, “There’s no place like home.” I arrived to the empty factory, that had been transformed to a fancy venue space called the Glass Factory, in downtown Jacksonville. A … Continue reading There’s no place like home—GAL Fundraiser

Two-three times a week a walk 3 miles to get the kiddos to school first thing in the morning, Beyond some added exercise, I have made some small changes to my diet. Less fried … Continue reading SGs Workout Plan, Spring Recap
I recall that moment in 2008, when I first attended a NAMI Connection Support group. In that moment I was nervous to step foot into a mental health support group, not even considering sharing with strangers my own struggles. I lived in Southern Maryland with my parents at the time. I was living in recovery … Continue reading NAMI Connection Facilitator Training Spring’22
I promised my Bestie that after the previous post, I would not tease with such titles of craziness and deliver only the mundane story of the day. So here is a post about our weekend fun at the fair, a tale of the sweet lady who gifted us the arm bands for ride admission and … Continue reading Clay County Fair
All Aboard Sarah’s crazy train today. It started as a typical day. Waking up early to get the kids ready for school and myself off to work on time. I spent the normal hours in the office. Left work in time to barely pick the kids up and be on time for all of our … Continue reading Crazy Train
Today, I half-heartedly committed to an outreach opportunity. After coaching Ellas game in the morning, I headed straight to the event. In a state of obligation. Begrudgingly already upset that I had overwritten and booked up my weekend. What happened took me by complete surprise. I reconnected with myself, through the various speakers at this … Continue reading My second chance.
As I write, I am happy to report Mom has been released from the second round of hospitalizations. She is home, on a long laundry list of medications, new proceedures, and oxygen. She has some residual pain still from the pulmonary emboli which are not completely broken up. She will take Coumadin to thin the … Continue reading MIMI Update
Mom proved her inability to be taken down once again. After caring for her a few days post-op. She went in for a routine Ostomy appointment at the hospital. On the way there she experienced stroke-like symptoms. By the time she arrived, she was unable to walk, her left side went numb and she was … Continue reading Mimi strikes again
I guess I should consider a career change. A lot of home health care in my past and present, hopefully not too much in my future. Two days ago I flew into Maryland to help care for my mother since she left the hospital and home recovering from surgery. I am thankful that she was … Continue reading Sarbear’s Home Health Care
I am planning on making a bender trip to Maryland later this week. Mostly to assist my mom in her recovery process at home. That is hoping she is released in the next few days to a weeks time. I fly out Friday. My cheap butt in my scramble for the best price took the … Continue reading Maryland bound.
Sunday night, we had an amazing Family Spaghetti Dinner (prepared by Chef Jason) and enjoyed an Epic game of UNO. This particular game night, we only had time for one extremely long hand of UNO, that took nearly 30-40 minutes to complete. We all struggled to maintain low card numbers, while Jason masterfully sifted and … Continue reading Family Game Nights, and the tale of Hazel the UNO card-shark.
In speaking to my father chatting today about Mom, he mentioned the old military favorite of the waiting game when it comes to her health. Hurry up and wait he said, the all too familiar saying and I didn’t swallow that well for many reasons. Mostly as I hardly have the inclination to remain patient … Continue reading The Unsinkable Melinda Ruth
I am happy to report that mom is making progress day by day. She is due for more testing tomorrow, and since the emergency has not ate or drunk anything.

The last picture with my mom, several months ago. I am trying to hold steady despite the world around me. The madness and violence in the world shadowing, while I hope against hope that my mother can heal. She has complicated GI issues, a removed galbladder, diverticulitis diagnosis, and a hernia. Yesterday she had a … Continue reading Rainbows and Healing
