About this time last week I was being informed that my mother had had a heart attack. She broke her hip at age 84 and I've been her caregiver since then. Suffice to say, as she aged my life outside the house became to be lived in tiny chunks of time while she was napping. About a month ago she was hospitalized then went into a nursing home. It became obvious I would no longer be able to care for her at home. So I had to think about what my life would be like after she passed. Geocaching looked interesting, especially since I haven't had much opportunity to get out and explore.
