This isn't a vacation. I'm swinging by New York after I relocate my mother to Florida which means I'm closing down her bank accounts, cancelling her phone, internet, and newspaper; shipping her cat, managing her meds, arranging for assisted living before we leave, cleaning out her condo, helping her sort 89 years' of possessions deciding what to keep, ship, give, or trash, playing sodium warden (she's under strict doctor's orders to reduce her salt intake), keeping her out of the ER (she's been there 4 times in the last 6 weeks), keeping her occupied during her unpleasant stay in assisted living, take her to the movies, cleaning out her cat's box, and in my spare moments day dream about not getting pick pocketed in New York.
For my own peace of mind today I get to attend a TEDx Conference in Bellingham, WA. Can't wait!
