That I am emotionally barely able to take care of my basic household duties does not ameliorate my sense of shame. My back has been better for a couple of weeks and I should be doing that which I need to do for him. But most days getting out of bed and feeding myself – and the weasels, both indoors and out – is the best I seem capable of. And forget writing. That is a distant memory...
...and I weep at the slightest thing.
