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.
Where is it snug? Some people use body shapers or I guess they were once called girdles. I’ve never tried one of those things before. I guess they work if a dress is snug.
I see. Do you have a long dressy sweater or kimono style jacket that would cover up where it is a little snug?
It sounds like it is a very pretty dress. You bought it for a special occasion. It would be a shame not to be able to wear it. Can you sit comfortably in it?
I didn't buy the dress for the wedding, it was something that was supposed to be perfect for every occasion so I wouldn't have to keep buying clothes I never wear.
I wish I had a clue what the bride's family are wearing.
What is your sis wearing?
Personally I am past the age where I care to be uncomfortable in my clothing. Have been for a long time, but you are younger.
And there's no point denying myself those cookies tonight 😉
LOL! Eat your cookies!
You're so right about some aged folks, who have lost the ability to fully live life. It brings to mind many conversations that my mother would repeat, e.g."Mrs. Jones lived in that house." The thing was that statement became her iteration. That said, many people up in their years actually have very little to converse about, as their world shrinks.
Btw, Evelyn knew my special day was in January, but never sent me a birthday card, opting to send a person who is deceased one.
She deserves the title of deacon! She sounds lovely.
try diff shoes. Sometimes a higher heel creates a shift in the torso.
97 - heels just might help!!!
So sorry about your moms fall. Hope you are enjoying your sleep by now and wake with a plan easily at hand for your day.
Big Hugs
That sounds like she did a "good" job breaking her ankle. May The Lord guide her care team and touch all of you.
Thinking of you and your mom and dad during this stressful time. I hope you will be able to get the rest that you need and that your mom’s ankle heals quickly. So sorry that your dad is experiencing heart issues.
My daughter is having to give her Siberian husky ice water to cool down after she walks him.
Hope your bro is being well looked after and they are finding a way to remove his gall bladder and them attend to his heart issues. I know you are not with him constantly, but I am sure he is still on your mind.
Thank you. Please keep him in your prayers.
We are hopeful that they will find a way to resolve his issue, so he can move towards the next step, which is treating his heart condition.
I love my iced tea in the summer. Very refreshing. I don’t use sugar. Lately, I have been making mint tea.
I haven’t bought Powerade in awhile. I should keep some in the fridge.
Anyway, DH told me not to feel bad. He said FIL is lucky we bring him as much food as we do, considering his history of practically ignoring us for years and how difficult he has been the past year. The food at his AL is good. We have eaten it. He hasn't had a good appetite for years before going into AL and now blames it on the food. We took him to his favorite restaurant 2 weeks ago and only ate a few bites. Yesterday took him out and he didn't eat a lot either.
Fil is going to complain about something no matter how good it is. Just the nature of the man and many people in facilities. Mother complained about food, too. A good part of it is in them. They may need pureed food, their tastes/appetite may have changed or they may need something to complain about.
Don't for a minute think you are the cause of his complaints. Your dh is right. Fil should be thankful you do as much as you do for him. (((((hugs))))
I am also sorry about you getting a lot of smoke again. Please stay safe. I haven't been online much recently, so I am now reading posts.
