So, it's been awhile since I've posted. Caregiving while finishing up my degree keeps me pretty busy! Happy to report, this is my final semester!! Yay:) I graduate in December with 3 Associates degrees in Office Administration. Office software, office finance, and general office. It took a long time but finally paying off. This semester I'm doing a internship with Hospice. I am processing medical claims for palliative care. This is really exciting for me because coding & billing is a passion that got me into school. So, super busy with that and my final class, Excel and of course taking care of mom and 19yr old son. It feels never-ending sometimes. Like the day never ends! Just wanted to check in because caregiving is super stressful and time management, especially with school right now seems like a top priority. Any tips on how you manage it all? I plan to get a planner so I can track things better but definitely open to tips you may have. We are all from different walks of life but I know with caregiving you have to be resourceful and creative. Hope you all are getting by fine and your loved ones also! Love & light.

I'm so excited for you that you have a future of hope. Coding & billing is a great field - lots of good luck!
It's amazing how much you can relax when you dump the day's activities in a book. It makes it easier to remember what happened when without wracking your brain.
I started one when my dad got sick, and two years later, I still use the same spiral-bound notebook to write down all the stuff going on with my mother now. I was never one to keep a journal or anything like that, and I still make my to-do lists elsewhere, but if it has to do with Mom, it goes in the book.
Love & Light💜
