Hey! So some of the places we looked at in Charleston, IL were sketchy! Thank you to who has reached out! We have changed directions (kinda) and staying at Effingham tomorrow night and Saturday night—some asking why we chose “Charleston as a date weekend” but our son has a competition Saturday afternoon at EIU. But hubby and I are staying there for the weekend for break away. But we booked a hotel in Effingham and will arrive around 630p and check in and want to go get dinner and drinks and maybe dance or something! 🙃🙃 We just wanna cut loose—I’m sure any parent out there understands that life is strenuous and I just lost my dad 2 weeks ago and I had been his caregiver for 4 years—he got worse after my mom died due to Pancreatic cancer in 2022 and he died of liver and kidney failure. At the end I had to enforce his DNR and I watched his life leave his body and scream because his mind was gone pretty much. So I really need a weekend of fun. I need to let the stress leave my body and just relax. Thanks in advance! 💜🙏🏽 -xx
