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.
Would have loved the perfect warmth this winter.....
But then again, it was just a possession, now gone.

GrannieAnnie- my knees are giving me trouble this winter, and I have concerns they will just give out in addition to hurting. But as I look outside, it appears spring is arriving, if I can just hold on. A return to "wall walking" I call it, as I get up before my body wants to, holding onto the door frames. I was already healed from this before so still hopeful. And grateful that I never had to buy that walker.
S P R I N G !!!!
I went to walk/limp in -clinic Mon, sliding the car on local slushy roads. Tues. I took my aunt to the ER. A friend helped me put Rose in car, and an ER nurse had to physically lift her from the car into a wheelchair. Tests for strep, lung infection, flu etc. negative except for virus. She got fluids and sent home. Same nurse put her back in car. She froze getting out of car, and I had to peel her fingers off top of car door.
Wed. was worse. She fell in bathroom, unresponsive. Called ambulance. Tests all ok in ER, but she failed the walk test with walker. I refused to take her home, so they admitted her as "Observation." Medicare will cover only 2nights for that. Luckily she did PT, then passed out while sitting on toilet. Finally they are seeing what we've seen. At same time her BP took a dive. She's staying till she goes to rehab Mon. at Mineral Springs, to see if some PT helps her to be more independent in our home again. If not, she will be in a Nursing Home.
I have her cold, am exhausted, and grieving. They now think her heart just can't keep up. She 'wants to go home.'
Send, Are you serious about Spring? I am reading that temperatures are going to drop to zero where I am. It keeps snowing. Right now Spring may as well be a place on Mars. I see photos of green leaves on trees and can't imagine that ever coming back.
Drove 80 miles round trip to have hubby and I clean MIL's messy house and then we went to buy her groceries. Oatmeal, potato chips, two bags of chocolate bars, one bag of caramels, and one large bag of chocolate chip cookies. She then announced loudly after us doing all the work that she was NOT going to share any of the cookies or candy. I am so glad my mom was at least generous to the end and grateful for anyone doing her favors to at least offer them something. It seemed so childish of MIL.
I'm so sorry about your knee.Be careful while your'e out tomorrow with your dear Aunt Rose.You really do have a big day ahead~
CVS pharmacy inside of Target ordered some Mentholatum for me.
Others use Vicks, I prefer Mentholatum.
I stumbled into a store on the weekend to get a new mattress pad and saw some lovely dishes- even at a discount they’re a bit pricey - I don’t need them but I still want them
So that was my big treat for myself. Something to clean with! Wow, lucky me. Aren't I special! LOL
I thought gosh an adhesive lint roller would work great! But, really did not want to be sitting on the floor to do it. Was there such a think as an adhesive lint roller on a mop length handle? Yup!
That will work great for the cat litter problem I am having, I think. But will try the hand roller first. And think how quick it would work, if it will.
And I bought a Eufy robot vac... but still haven't programmed it yet to do daily runs. That's a good thing to work on tomorrow for Polar Vortex Day when no one's going outside. lol
I also use a litter mat for cats to step on when they come out of the box. That helps, every little thing helps imo.
One way or another, I WILL get the cat hair and litter under control at my place. lol
Good job, Gershun. And yes, I agree that "where there's a will, there's a way."
I have 6 stray cats outside in our garage,so I made boxes with blankets in them for them.I just hope that keeps 'em warm enough.I'm worried though.
Everybody in the area of the extreme weather please stay inside and safe!
Lu, can you also cover the outside cat's boxes with tarps or blankets?
