My mom has hand surgery, and I will be going across state on the train and bus to be with her. She is elderly. Me and my siblings arranged for me to go, because everyone else had to work etc.
I wish they lived closer, it's a 13 hour trip from start to finish. Last emergency we all went, because it was more serious. This time just one of us is needed. my siblings are paying for the trip, I am almost broke right now. but I do have the time, so it all works out.
I am just bringing my backpack, I don't want to carry a bunch of stuff across the whole state on the bus and train. I am taking a change of clothes, a notebook and pen, a drawing pad, meds, and very little else. I will probably be there a week. My mom has a washer and dryer luckily, so I can do my laundry when I need to. no computer, though, so I cant work. I had to cancel my ebay auctions, but that's ok.
I can do writing on paper and drawing to get a little work done when not helping mom. I could probably use a break from the computer anyway. it will be on tuesday

It is good that you are able to go at a time like this when your mother needs you. You can catch up on your writing when you get back.

I hope the surgery goes well and you have a safe trip.
You just take care of your mom.
You could write down ideas for discussions here if you get bored and post them when you return home.
I hope all goes well.

Your mother is lucky to have caring children. I hope your trip goes well and that the surgery is successful.
