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.
Jeanette, yes he does use those stretchy exercise bands, though not as much as he should.
I fell asleep really early last night and then woke up at midnight and couldn't sleep, which isn't unusual for me. I watched this drama series episode called LOVE CHILD, so good! It is set in the 60's, and is about a Midwife working in a Home For Unwed Mother's. IIt was filmed in Australia and I found the rest of the series on UTUBE, so now I'm hooked on it and have to change up my tablet and my extra charging thingy to use tonite under the covers! So excited to find a cool show! Later, Stace
Really need to stop listening to Neil....
I now have two big white patches on both my knees where the skin used to be.
Come to think of it that treadmill is evil d*mn it!!!! LOL
I have read on this site, somewhere, of an illness that is not clumsiness, but instead the sx. are clumsiness.
Meant to be funny folks, not insulting.

Oldestof3, I love the story about Molly. Something similar happened to a friend's mother in that her kitten, Holly, showed up on the doorstep on Christmas Eve. No one claimed Holly, so she found a good home with my friend's Mom. Her husband had just passed away and she always thought that Holly was a gift from him somehow. Holly brought much joy and comfort.
Another Monday...I hope everyone has a good day and a good week.
I guess I have forgiven her, sort of, for the searing comment she made to my brother.
Why would someone be so cruel as to do that knowing how much it would hurt and embarrass me. I would never be mean to mom. Sometimes I lose my patience but never was she justified in doing what she did. Jealousy? Dysfunction? Immaturity? I guess my whole point in writing all of this is to say that dysfunction runs deep and can really screw up a family. It is sad. Some day I will write about that dysfunction and how it fractured my family.
I went to an attorney and discussed the situation with him and because I am POA and it is a durable POA...he prepared a life estate and in it it states all of my caregiving etc. and upon her passing this house will automatically go to me....Please, go to an attorney and see if you can have this done...It was very inexpensive ....and then you have the filing fees...which are not that much either..but now it's all done... Not meaning to be bossy but please check into this pronto...
My little Charlie-girl checks in on my FIL throughout the day, making sure he's alright! Animals have such keen instincts towards the elderly. I know that she would notify me immediately if any thing was to happen to him. She will often post outside his TV room, keeping a close eye on him, it's so Awesome!
Gershun..I love that show..can't wait for the new spin off that starts this coming Sunday..woo hoo...I love Daryl...my idea of a perfect man..Rick isn't bad either...
Vstefans...interesting that you would say that today...our nurse just left and I was asking her was there any way the dosing could be altered because her feeling perkier and talking more was excellent, but I was concerned that she was not sleeping for two days running....I'm afraid her heart will give out on stints like that..but she also suggested halfing the patch next time we needed it...so I think I'm going to try that..thanks!
When I first started doing this I think I had more emotional moments than I do now. I would let the "s" word fly a lot or the "d" word...or the long sentences with a lot of the words in there...and those who have been here a while may recall my infamous "mooning" episode...but back then I was horrified at my own self and figured I just could not do it...but now I have to say...I dare say the only folks who could do this and NEVER lose their patience or temper now and then would literally have to be saints......I'm not talking physical stuff here...but sometimes it can wear on you...and the "words" fly out.... I'm not sure where I was gong with that.....
Gershun, hope you are still ok today...I probably could not do a tread mill these days with my balance as bad as it has become...
Glad your Mom is having a good day Susan..It really makes my entire day and week when Mama is in a good, happy mood...She was first thing but took a little swat at the aid this morning...very out of character for her....but she does NOT like for anyone to mess with her nose or eyes...I guess I an't blame her....
I am thinking of opening one of my boxes today....that may be all I do....but it's going to be a rainy day here...which i am loving....so a good day for it...but you know how once you open something, you can't ever get it back in there...
