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.
I used to hang from trees! Great fun but couldn't do it now! I used to roll down hills. I remember once in PA, there was a beautiful sloped hill just right for rolling. I was madly in love with my ex husband and it seemed like a wonderful young romantic things to do. I was about 24. It was so much fun, but hurt like hell!his name is probably on AM in the no paid status, lol.
I get what you all are saying. He is rich and entitled. Believe me the transgender community is letting him know that. Right to his face on this show. Its not just about him dawning high heels and eyeliner. I think he is definitely out of his comfort zone and it shows. But I'll cut him some slack.
Anywho.......I am sick and so I am gonna go to bed. Good Night all you wonderful Care Givers.
I'm curious though. When they charge him for manslaughter in that traffic accident, IF he's found guilty, will they put him in the men's prison? I will feel soooo sorry for him if that happens. I can see him experiencing some very painful physical violations. Unless fame and money wins out, and he gets a cushy prison cell/treatment. Or would he go to the women's prison? Or he might be found innocent of vehicular manslaughter.
Sermon over...lol
I don't judge folks re the trans issues, gay whatever...that is their business but Jenner's case is kind of different and I do think he did not earn the award. Had he not been a celebrity and very wealthy person to being with it never would have happened...
I have, the past three days now, completely turned off all TV and stereo...I am enjoying the sound of the breezes and birds singing, and just "being"..without my head all clouded from all the bad news, drama, fussing and stupidity that seems to permeate the airwaves these days...I did get to enjoy the Donald's news making event of the day for throwing out the reporter who, imo inappropriately began blasting Trump with his question before he had been called on and promptly got shown the door. I have to say I find that refreshing about him...he doesn't back down...sometimes I think we might could use a little more of that these days
It is just so hard to say "no" to one's parents, especially since I am an only child who had no children. There are no other relatives that can help me out, my closest cousins several States over are OLDER than me, and are still recovering from helping their own aging parents who have passed on. There is my sig other but he has very little patience and on those days when he does help by driving or picking up their groceries, he will grumble for hours on end.... to a point, where I rather do it myself and have silence !!
Ok, are we talking about one's parents or are we talking about one certain Presidential candidate who falls into the categories above? The lost of filter was my first clue, then other signs started to show. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out over the next year.
I just visited my mo m and we played cards. all the same questions and confusions over and over and over and over. Geeesus!
As far as same old same old, not so much here. We are preparing for a possible Cat.1 Hurricane. Lalalala!
I seemed to be operating in fits and starts today...Didn't get much accomplished...other than managing to get my friends birthday card addressed and decorated and I got her second gift in the mail so I got them both wrapped really pretty and got them in their box all ready to mail. I bought me some of those colored marking pencils so I can decorate my cards, boxes and such like I used to because I want to be me again...I guess I could have pushed and gotten them on to the post office, which I should have done, but I just ran out of energy. They are ready to go though so that will be on my to do list first thing tomorrow.after I get Mama and all the critters taken care of....
I could very easily go for a nap right about now....
Same for everyone out West with the fires and air quality...hope it gets better soon.
Frequentflyer, I hope your shoulder gets better soon. I know that puzzled look too when I tell Mom how old I am...they think we are still young and that only they age, I guess....
Hope, I don't remember the cartoon of "Droopy Dog" doing the same things over and over...but I sure do feel that way many days...I wonder how many days have been this way in a row now. I feel like I am in a tape loop if one filmed me each day...over and over...
Another day in Paradise. I am sick so I am hunkering in for the day. For all of you who feel like cogs in a machine just remember you are important cogs or hamsters, whichever you prefer. :)
I know how frustrating it can be though. Especially the cooking and shopping! I hate grocery shopping! It seems like I go every day! I am a really good cook, but my hubby has developed some digestive issues so he doesn't like to eat certain foods any more. Mom is easy. She has always been a good eater, but her teeth are bothering her now so she is having a problem chewing. I have been crockpot info and pasta cooking because it is easier on her teeth. I have found that Pinterest has become my best resource for menu planning as well as decorating and designing Mom's new room.
Guess they never grew up either. Nice enough for them though, that one isn't far from the other. Hmph.... fine. If I can think it, I can do it on my own.
nuff said.
So now i am notorious for making my meals cereal, or a piece of cheese, or a glass of milk...I try to get some protein source in there, but my heart is not in any of it most of the time and it is really showing in my well being...The bone in my upper left thigh, I can't even remember what it's called, but I can be standing still or walking and sometimes it just gives way...I don't know what is up with that...I almost feels like the bone shifts but surely not or I could not walk on it...kind of more like a pinched muscle or nerve....who knows..I have aches and pains in places now where I never knew I even had places....
Sheradale, please be careful with the pending storm, I would be cowering in the corner if I were you, I've never experienced a hurricane or anything like that! So scary!
Gershun, sweetie, you take care too, I had Headaches that literally lasted for a year before my 1st cervical spine surgery. I have had 2. Not fun, but the 2nd one was successful thankfully!
And to all of you who are struggling with the monotony of same thing different day, I'm right there with you! Today I reviewed all of my FI's legal ppwk, to confirm that it was all in good order and up to date, which it is, but to hear him repeat himself over and over and over again, I practically wanted to blow my (his, lol) brains out, GAD! It's so exasperating! Well my Charlie-girl finally found her very favorite ball, which may sound silly, but it had been missing for a week, and she was constantly searching and searching, and the next thing I knew, she rounded the corner with it in her little mouth, and once again, all is right in the world! It is a dirty once pink old sock of mine I had rolled up and sewed into a ball, and she lives for it! She will fetch that ball 4 hours a day, if I would throw it that much, but at least she is back to her happy little self, thank God, I couldn't even interest her in another ball, the twin sock ball to the old dirty one she loves so much, so I don't know what will happen if/when it wears out! I know that this is such a stupid thing, but she was sullen and distraught! Poor baby! My happy baby is back now anyways! Alrighty kids, I love you all, so be kind to yourselves, and I'll catch up tomorrow morning!
In the mornings after I get Mother up and changed and get buckets of water and medicate her and change her chair and,and,and,I get SO depressed at the mess it creates every morning and just this ordeal has been going on 3 and a half years straight.Some mornings,I even cry about it,Other days,I get sad or mad.
No matter what,I am Very Lucky to have Mother with me and I am very grateful.Just a half of an inch and Mother would have been dead or paralyzed when she broke her neck 9 years ago in the tip of her skull,C-1.
Thanks to all.
