So, here's what's happening with me. I'm flying to New York tomorrow morning (may G-d not strike me down for flying on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar) in order to stay with my mother- and father-in-law while my sister-in-law is in the hospital having knee surgery (may G-d see this as the mitzvah it is). With the huge italian family my husband has, I'm the only one who can spare the time to do this on the dates required, despite having to fly across country to do it.
I'm not really complaining. I'm just tired of flying. My sister-in-law and her husband live with her parents, who are both 92. While she is in the hospital and he naturally will want to be there with her, the folks need to have someone stay with them... just in case. I'm not exactly sure I'm the best person to handle everything, but I love them and am willing to do my best. The thinking of the family is that they'll behave themselves if I'm there and won't take this as an opportunity to escape some of the (what they see as) restrictive rules their daughter has put in place for their safety and health. I can just see myself calling Joe in California and complaining that his Mom won't take her pills when she should or his father is trying to eat food that has been declared off-limits. Yikes!
Luckily, by flying in tomorrow, I'll have a day with my sister-in-law before she goes into the hospital to learn about the pill and food schedule. There is a professional that comes in to take care of the bathing duties.
Also tomorrow (5 1/2 hour flight + all the extra time for security, etc.), I'll be fasting, so maybe it'll be easier to deal with the hunger pangs and I'll have a l-o-o-o-n-n-n-g flight to contemplate my sins of the past year and plenty of time to assure G-d that I'll do better. Of course, it's still in the back of my mind that I'm supposed to be doing nothing BUT that for 24 hours instead of driving, flying, using electronics, etc.
Today is full of laundry, packing, cooking a couple of meals for Joe to have while I'm gone, and waiting to hear from the vet about what the results of Bambu's blood test are. I took him in yesterday morning after 10 days of the antibiotics. Fingers are crossed that whatever was causing his elevated white blood cell count, has been taken care of.
Time to get going. I'll be back later. Love to all Ponders!!!
Amen! God will understand--the temporal things must be taken care of first. It is indeed a mitzvah. Put the forbidden foods up so they can't reach them and if they won't take their pills on time, start them a bit early. I took care of my mom's mother before she died of lung cancer; I know what you're up against. Have a safe flight, honey--we'll all be praying for you.
Hi Eva, you have such a busy schedule, but you'll be fine. G-d will be with you through everything. Let us know everything when you can. We are always here for you.
Eva, I believe God has given you such a long time on the plane to reflect and honor Yom Kippur. Doesn't He also seal you for the coming year? My belief is that He has sealed with you with the blessing of being chosen to take care of His children in their time of need, and that He will bless you in all you do this year. I admit that I don't know as much about Yom Kippur as I'd like, but we serve the same Creator. I know him pretty well (except when I ignore Him!). My two cents.
You all are so wonderful and I appreciate your loving words so much! I know I always fall so short of what G-d expects of me, although I do try. Sometimes I think I must be the greatest excuse-maker ever! Of course, that'll be one of the things I'll need to account for. Sigh. At least by sunset Wednesday night, I'll have a clean slate in His eyes and I'll be starting off well with good deeds.
Right now, I'm stuffing my face in anticipation of cutting myself off in about an hour.
Good news (sort of) on the Bambu front. His white blood cell count has gone down into solid normal range. Yay! The other side of that good news is that we still don't know what caused it to go up in the first place. The most worrisome thing is that he's still losing weight. The vet said I should bring him back in another month and she'll look at his blood again. I told Joe that his job while I'm gone is to keep after Bambu to eat.

Just loving my frogs today.
