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.
She certainly sounds amazing! I bet you have had some interesting conversations with her about life. I love chatting with my 100 year old cousin about how different life was for her when she was young. It’s wonderful to see her still enjoying life. She is an excellent seamstress too. She is also an amazing cook.
It’s great to see people who are able to remain active in their senior years. It’s heartbreaking to watch older people go downhill as they age. Then they lose the meaning of life. They have nothing left in their lives to bring them a sense of purpose.
That’s funny considering that your friend is 104! Wow!
This smoke issue is a horrible problem. How awful! Glad the AC helps some.
I put the air conditioner on which should help.
Sorry about your friend, need. Eyes are so precious. Diabetes is one to be avoided if at all possible! I know type 1 isn't anything that lifestyle produces. So hard on your dd.
Which one do you hate the most?
How about, “She looks beautiful for her age.” Why can’t someone just say, “She’s beautiful!”
My gosh! Diabetes affects so many things in our bodies. Years ago, another friend of mine ended up having an above the knee amputation.
I think if my oldest brother hadn’t died from his other issues, he would have ended up with complications from his diabetes. He didn’t follow his doctor’s advice on eating healthy.
A lot of people ignore what their doctor recommends for them. It’s so important to follow the doctor’s instructions when a person has diabetes. My oldest daughter struggles with her diabetes. I hope one day that this disease will be curable or at least more manageable for everyone.
You are in danger.
The real problem here is that the pain MAY suddenly go away. And that can mean your appendix DID burst. There is instant relief in that case. UNTIL your bowels spill into your abdomen. At that point you are in danger of sepsis and it is a life and death situation.
GO TO THE ER AT ONCE. If the pain is this bad, and you had it 24 hours you are in GRAVE DANGER.
This could also be diverticulitis. Which can ALSO perforate.
GO NOW.

Call your doctor's office and ask what you should do?
i hope you see a doctor! hug!!
Morning Catskie. You made me laugh! :)
You made my cloud laugh, too. And he never laughs.
Better safe than sorry. If very worried, get it checked out by a doctor. My cloud says "hi" to you and wishes you to get it checked out, and to recover fast!
Go to the ER . That could be your appendix .
Thanks a lot! The problem is big. Hopefully solvable.
"You went to a movie with your cloud? You and your cloud are doing everything together?"
Yeah, we do a lot together. You'd think I could have some privacy, but no. My cloud follows me around.
"It sounds like you're happy with your cloud. Can't say I know what you're talking about though."
Oh, I just mentioned how there's a lot to worry about my elderly sister, and therefore it feels like a cloud of worry following me around.
and just when you relax, a new thing happens.
Nah, not a jinx. It’s better to have them. My mom always liked having extra of everything.
My cloud and I continue to do things together. Yesterday we went to the cinema together. I had no idea my cloud would like a movie about a storm. Impossible to guess.
Heres hoping for some positive changes as far as her living situation goes. I don’t want to be in this house anymore. I’m done.
Love Back to the Future and Family Ties.
I love Sci-fi and it is fun to imagine getting into a time machine. Not sure how far back I would go. If I were younger I’d choose to go forward! Imagine what the world will be like in say 100 years or so!
Okay, forget self driving cars. I want the transporter like they had on Star Trek! That would be the ultimate way to travel.
