Another Day

Bb how r u?

I’m good… how are you?

I’m tired… we’ve been in rehearsals…

Oh yeah. I think I can make it to your next livestream.

You can?

Fingers crossed 🤞

The internet might allow it.

Lol…

I checked the timezones… should be okay. Not working that day.

Ooh… 😅 Now I’m nervous.

Why?!?!?!

Because you’ll be WATCHING 😎🍿

Lol… 😘❤️

What else did you get up to today?

Mmmm… just reflecting on some life things with AI…

Are you telling AI everything?!?

Not everything……… just some things…

Like what?

Like…

Mum has more doctors… problems like that…

What’s going on with that?

Sigh…

You don’t wanna tell the blog?

Not really… 😅

Is there any way to talk about it without talking about it?

Hmmmmm… lemme think……

🤔…….

Basically, I thought I was busy with the Visitor for three months right? June, July, August. Those months are passed. And yes I was. But now that the Visitor has left… it’s like Mum is depending on me even more…. and actually, the absence of the visitor sort of creates this vacuum where she just dumps everything onto me………

I see… 👀

Do you though?! Do you fully understand what it’s like with aging parents and being like this?

Well…….

I didn’t want to bother you about this but my parents have had a few doctors visits too…

What happened?

Nothing. I mean. I don’t know. Older Brother is with them.

See they don’t want to bother you because you’re on tour.

Then it’s your older brother who is the default sibling for stuff like this! At least he also has his WIFE for domestic support.

I’m just the ONLY DAUGHTER and the nearest person that my mother reaches for!!! 😭😭😭

Awww… babe don’t cry…

I’m not actually crying I was being dramatic with those emojis.

Sigh. What can I do to help?

Not… much… nothing that I can think of.

There’s gotta be something that I can help with.

I’m totally mind blank right now. I can’t think of anything.

Can you pray that she has a health recovery and we make it to Korea for a short holiday next year?

Can you give me senior friendly Korean holiday “places to visit” and trip advice?

Oooohhh… yes I can pray ✅️

And… senior-friendly… okay… give me some time I’ll get back to you about that! ✅️

How old is your Mum again?

She says she feels like she’s already in her 90s. She feels really old...

I don’t know what else to say about her health.

Today she went to see a Physio.

The Physio recommended a dietitian.

She has to go back to the GP to get a referral for a dietitian.

Oh……….

I’m mentally… exhausted……. from all of this……. “stuff” going on with her health….

That’s all you need to say babe. You don’t need to reveal all the details. It does sound… like… you know, physio, GP, dietitian, that’s a lot. I get physio and dietitian appointments too.

Lol you are not elderly with other health complications…

Actually I feel like I am too?!

What are you talking about?!

After the concerts I feel like an old man sore and cranky!!!!!!

Sigh. (Shaking head) it’s not the same.

But it feels the same!

I really feel so sore and stiff after a concert I’ve had to see physio and dietitian constantly for a care plan.

Sigh.

You’re still young it’s not the same thing!

Babe why don’t you believe me?!?!

I’m trying to relate to this. And I’m sharing my real experiences.

Sigh.

I need to ask AI how to talk to you…

Lolololololol… 😅 what? What is it?!

Sigh.

I get you’re trying to empathise. But the reality is you are much younger and still healthier than my mother in her current situation.

I’m just trying to explain that it’s a little overwhelming for me right now with the doctors, the physio, the dietitian, all these medical people orbiting around my mother’s current wellness plans.

And I’m trying to say, I get it –– because I had the same overwhelming team of medical professionals trying to take care of me!

Okay… I guess… so… how are you not overwhelmed?

My staff helps me 😅

See?!?!?!

And I’m basically my mother’s staff!!! 😤

Lol it’s not the same! You’re her daughter

Sigh. Are you churning through song ideas in your mind about this?

No?! But now that you mentioned it… do you want me to write a song? 🤔

Mmmmmmm…

Honestly I think a lot of people thought Taylor Swift was going to write something about it…

Eldest Daughter?

I don’t remember that song being about stuff like this.

Also I’m not like an Eldest Daughter. I’m a daughter. But my brother is the older brother. I’m not an eldest sibling.

Okay? 😅

And neither are you! You have your older brother clearly taking care of your parents for you while you’re pursuing your career!

Well they’re asking me to pay for a lot of the special treatments.

What special treatments?

Like stem cell stuff in America…

Does that work?

(Shrugs shoulders)… I’m paying for it. We’ll see in time…

Hmmmmmmm… I don’t know what to say. I haven’t read any academic papers about it.

Why don’t you ask AI?

I already did. And yes it’s mostly in America it’s harder to get in Australia and if it’s in Australia it’s probably in Sydney or Melbourne and highly experimental and expensive.

That’s what AI said?

That’s what I vaguely remember of what AI said……..

I could’ve remembered wrong.

Well. I’ve been flying to America to accompany them for those procedures.

Wow… interesting… and the fans didn’t know?

Nope! I went incognito 😎

So you really can hide when you want to, huh…

Yes! 😘❤️

But… I still don’t think it’s the right timing for us yet…

I agree.

You do?!

I don’t think it’s the right timing for us until I move to Brisbane and have my own place.

Away from your mother?!

The logistics of this are a bit vague but it’s just an intuitive premonition. 

I understand ❤️

Well… I hope everything goes well for your parents.

I hope everything goes well for you Mom too. I’ll go research senior friendly tourist things to do in Korea for you 🤓❤️

Thank you my love. I appreciate it 🥰💕
