I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
We also have TV's in our bedrooms. I can't sleep without one, otherwise I can't shut off my brain. He watches sports, and I like comedy or informative shows such as Engineering Marvels, Inside the Factory, How Is It Made.... those shows I learn something and eventually during the 2nd half of the show, I am sound asleep :)
I think there are a lot of couples that need separate bedrooms and bathrooms to live in harmony!
If you find utopia please let us know where it is! 😊
It seems like everywhere has it’s pros and cons.
I wouldn’t mind being a gypsy and living in several places throughout the year. This wouldn’t gel with my husband though.
I would be the explorer. Hubby would be Mr. Chill!
The best place for nice temperatures and a nice breeze is Hawaii. They do have storms at times but not too bad most of the time. Just stay off the big island with the big active volcano. It is expensive to live there though. I tagged along twice when my husband had to go there for work for a week in Honolulu. So we were on Oahu , Waikiki Beach . It was nice but very touristy. We would love to go to Maui one day. .
The snowbirds have been around most of the year or decided to stay permanently.
I went to Florida every summer as a kid. My dad grew up in Florida. I love the beach!
I've had secondary adrenal insufficiency for 5 years and I'm less tolerant to heat/cold
geaton - beach and beachcombing - lovely, sharks and stitches not so much.
2 whines -The forecast says it is hazy today. No it is NOT hazy, it is snowing!!! Great big flakes!!! Enough already. 🌨❄🌨
A supplement arrived from our prime friend and the little plastic seal around the cap was broken. I took the cap off and the seal over the bottle top was broken and discoloured. I sent photos and asked for a replacement from the same company. Not sure that was wise because of what they sent me but I'll try them again - once.
Have a good Sunday, everyone.
I agree, the shells are beautiful. Yeah, Florida has its share of shark attacks. I love the dolphins.
And to help with that the agent I was using lowered his commission to 1%. This new guy would be at 3%. He was recommended by a friend that has a completely different situation to mine. She had already sold her condo in Arizona and had cash to buy one in the Denver area. They found her a good deal on a condo in Denver, but she had said she did not want to live in Denver.
Those guys are just good salesmen I think. Don't think I will go there, but figure out what to do, otherwise.
glad - we really are at their mercy. I tried one real estate agent recommended by 2 people but she didn't suit me at all. I have found three others with very high ratings for sales here. We will see. There is a company which guarantees you a certain price, but you don't get it until they have sold, as I understand it, I may see what they can offer me.
Hope that you feel better soon!
Thank you again for all of your support.
Is it possible to have some help come in so you get some respite ?
So sorry . This has to be very difficult for you .
Have you contacted Council on Aging in your area?
They will do a needs assessment of her needs. If she qualifies for help, you will receive a set amount of caregiver hours per month.
They will help bathe her, get her dressed, prepare meals and do light housekeeping.
Or better still, look into placing her in a facility. You can visit as her husband and be free from the hands on caregiving.
Isn't it time your wife was placed in a facility where others can care for her and you can visit her and become just her husband again?
Medicaid is available for those who don't have the funds for private care. Why not contact your local Agency for Aging and see what resources they can offer you. You need some support.
Stick around here. There are many people with good ideas. Wishing you and your wife all the best.
Thanks to Golden squats 🙄😂😭
