It's tough, clo, but you have to look after yourself too. Maybe let your dad handle the day to day for a while, and at least try to pass your exams... if he needs you, he can ask. Sorry you're having to go through this, but hopefully it will all work out. And don't feel guilty about anything... you are an awesome daughter.  

I agree. @clochette you have to recharge your batteries or you will burn out. At least your dad now knows when your mum needs to be at the hospital, and hopefully they'll be able to help her. Enjoy your week at home (in spite of exams) and relax doing things you like. Then you'll be able to visit your parents with new energy, and surely that's better for everyone.

I like to roast it simply with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then pair it with a nice Hollandaise sauce.   

I skip the holladaise on mine.

I'm worried, thinking I should just go home to be with her seeing as I'll most probably fail this first session of exams anyway but also guiltily liking to be alone and pretending all is fine in the world 😀 *psycho smile*

Your life includes responsibilities other than caring for your mother. You need to attend to those without guilt. You also need that alone time to recharge so you're better able to help when you return. Mum says until you've had to do it you can't understand how taxing it is caring for an ill loved one. She had to with my stepdad.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash!           And hello to the kids!  *waves*   I have a recipe for an Elotes salad. It's based off of Mexican street corn, with chili powder, lime juice, mayo, and Cotija cheese.  I think I'll make that for dinner tomorrow, thanks for reminding me!   

I'm sure Jordan and Ash are rambunctious enough to make up for it.   

You're welcome...sounds delicious...They are and so are the others, too...

[Marty]

Hello, young Albert  

[Albert1434]

Aloha Marty how are things with you 

[Marty]

Doing okay, thanks. Busy - but that's better than sitting round twiddling my fingers with nothing to do

How's yourself?

[Albert1434]

Sitting here and reading the news 

[Albert1434]

And trying to not think about the fruit I most likely not be going to get this year 😪

Not much we can do about the weather, unfortunately. What fruit are you growing?

[Albert1434]

Apricots peaches and nectarines I also have pears and apples not so worried about them but they are in bloom

Just thinking for future years... Are the trees too large for you to consider covering them with protective fleece to protect against frost damage??

You never know. Don't give up hope. The weather may surprise you and not do too much damage. even if you don't get a lot of fruit, you may still get some
