On Friday, I am moving out of this house and onto a friend's couch.
Next Tuesday, I am going to Tasmania to visit my mum as she continues to deteriorate. She's been put in a palliative care ward to die in comfort.
I'll be gone a week, because I have a course I'm doing that I have to be back to melbourne for.
I can't promise if I'll have the spoons to do much posting or reading during that time, or afterwards.
I don't want you to think that I've disappeared because I don't love you all - I do. When I go, I will miss you greatly.

Aww, Kiri! You are too sweet to worry about us at a time like this for you--please take care of you, and take all the time you need to do that. We love you and want you to be well, and we'll be here waiting for you when you get back. You'll be in my thoughts!

Kiri, I've been there (having to move onto a friend's couch). Thinking of you in the next few weeks, and prayers that your mom will be comfortable and at peace.

Or I will hunt you down.

Take care, Kiri. The emotional journey ahead of you will be intense. Hope both you and your mom would find peace, and perhaps discover more of one another, through the process.

I have finally finished moving, and also had a sleep. It has been fun being with a family with 3 kids under 7 who all love their aunty mils. Much snuggling, and jumping on bed has occured. Tomorrow, I'm walking around in my nightie until 6pm... and unpacking book boxes because my friends are book-a-philes and have put 7 of my bookcases inside Also I think we might set up the PC - that will be very cool. My friends are Geeks like me, so understand the importance of the internet.

Awww, sounds like you have amazing friends. It must be nice to be around the kids too. I'm very glad to hear you're getting lots of love and sleep over there. Wow, 3 under 7 though! I bet that's a busy house. You'll be missing your quiet soon enough, I bet!

Yup - they are completely amazing. I love them very dearly. And definitely will be missing my quiet. We went out to do ten pin bowling tonight, and they were babysitted by a friend. Apparently the oldest girl told the babysitter that 'Aunty was not a commoner'. When asked what that meant, she said 'She's not common.' All because in the morning they had made a crown for me because I was supposed to be a princess.
