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.
Whining that a dentist doesn't do 'that' work so another dentist? periodontist? what?
Do they only give diplomas/training now for each body part per limb or digit, and each piece of your mouth? per tooth? gums? location?
Leaves confusion where to go for what. Maybe need to find Yellow Brick Road and Wizard!
The doctor that the child had is dead, but there is so much fear about possibly losing her to the state, that they have done noting.
My gut tells me that they are expecting a miracle, when the miracle will take some time with the guidelines that I can mail them in the morning with a promise to make a non overnight visit next Thursday.
The teenage girl is 13 and weighs 150. She has really packed some bruises on her dad. His focus is on I don't want to loose her, when it needs to be how can I get her the help she needs.
He's never held a job and had great offers in the past, but had dreams of a band going. His wife is a drunk and drank while pregnant. Dare not mention fetal alcohol syndrome.
I want to help, but he tells me that everyone in the trailer hates each other. I've talked with him 3 times on the phone and pointed out that her violent meltdowns means she's a risk to others and please call 911 to get her helped.
ssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
This happened to me a LOT right after my mom died and it happened to me just last month when I was very distracted due to COVID, family illness and doing a big fundraising project. The CC company was happy to do a refund.
Hopefully your CC company have some humans that are more flexible.
well for some reason for the last two months I shaved 20.00 off my rent.
I have no clue why I did that. The make up check memo read : back rent because I am a moron
My DH jokes my comfort range is only 73 - 75 😃
One of the most famous heat bursts ever recorded happened on June 9, 2011 in Kansas, when the temperature in Wichita rose to over 100 degrees during the middle of the night.
My comfort range is 70-75 as well. I would rather have 20 below than 90 any day.
Whether that makes you a bad person or not, well I would let yourself be the judge of that. What we say on here doesn't encompass all we are as people. I've misspoke on here before and got told. Life goes on. Just pull your socks up and try again.
Dealing with my narcissistic mother in ALF, my Aunt being moved to Memory care this weekend , still dealing with my colon cancer diagnosis and now I have a herniated disc in my neck that is causing me extreme pain and may require surgery I am totally at the breaking point!
I dug deep this morning and spent several hours working on tax forms for Mom, more paperwork for my Aunt, several calls to freaking Kaiser trying to get them to simply fax the updated diagnosis of Alzheimer's to my Aunts ALF so her move will go smoothly.
I am in extreme pain and I have reached the point that I just don't want to deal with any of it!
I know I can't give into self pity, but sometimes you reach the point that you you don't understand why so much has been dumped on you!
I am a woman of faith! I know God has a plan! I am just so tired!!
God bless all of us that are struggling with hurt, pain, illness and self doubt!!
Give us strength to carry on!!
The tax, the paperwork, each new ball of cr@p, ask yourself who else would do this if I could not? Local tax agent? Some sort of agency care manager? What is the lesser evil? Handballing it or doingit yourself?
Please do three really nice things for yourself today, some music you love, watch the clouds, a lie down with a heat pack, whatever YOU like 💜💜💜
(I do sympathize, I hid for weeks after my first nasty encounter)
There are those on here who like to criticize but that's real life isn't it? I used to get into it with those people and then realized it's not worth it. Everyone has an opinion. There are trolls who come on here to cause strife. You get that with most forums. I'm sorry if you had a bad experience but we are mostly good, kind supportive folks on here.
Edit: aging.senate.gov in case anyone wants to look it up.
Oh yes, if you open the menu (to the left of AgingCare on the banner) you can find a link to several downloadable care guides.
Also, just read that Honda is no longer going to offer the Fit in the US after this model year. I have a 2012; it is quite literally THE PERFECT CAR, doesn't cost much (to buy or to own), has amazingly flexible fold down seats for schlepping stuff on vacation or when clearing out junk and is such a joy to park in NYC. I look at a spot and tell my DH, "wait, I can get into that!".
It was also a great car for my mom; she declared it just the right height for elderly folks with mobility challenges to get in and out of.
I needed to get that off my chest...
