Planting and hardening off

Spent a glorious night and day at home, planting anywhere I could find bare ground.  Then back to Mom's house.  nice evening.  Calm.  Dad's weird today.  They are giving him too much medication in my not so humble opinion and Barbie and I told his nurse to stop giving it to him.  I and he may live to regret this decision.  He was quite agitated this afternoon and the 'home' called and wanted someone to come back.  Ray, bless his heart, hadn't seen him yet today and volunteered to go in and see him while I stayed in the car, resting.
So I'm off parent duty until Tuesday evening after I put in a full day at the Pantry.  I'll be tired but it will be okay. It's calm there and I won't go see Dad until Wednesday morning.
My family members are making me the go to girl when it comes to making decisions.  I'm not any more qualified to make decisions than they are they just don't want to be left holding the bag.  Each day I find something I really dislike about one or more of them.  And dad?  yuk.  Demanding as ever but a prisoner at the same time.  Very hard to contend with.  Sympathy or tough love?  who can tell.
I'd rather be in my garden and that is exactly where I'm headed when I get home.
