lildeb, I live in a ratty little motor home that i call the 'Grapes of Wrath" wagon... no roofing tacks... this roof is painted on.... or it is 'sealed' with this stuff....so no flat tires from liquid white stuff.... but still no running water... have a good handyman now, so that will be next... filled all my shower, toilet, dishes washing jugs and I am set for the week.... when really hard times come... I won't even know it.... I'm ready....my life is so simple most of the time... I do not envy those with mortgages, unbelievable light bills this summer, and taxes.... I don't have to do any of that.... found this thing setting in a pasture..... long story short..... now it's HOME.... so no complaints... I think Seeme stresses over it more than I do....!! If I ever get tired of all this, I have a room at Seeme's waiting for me.....but can't drag Texas with me, and I am a Texas gal.... but nice to know I have a place to go if Ineed to.... and probably at Becks too, but could I deal with Lily and the hair weave????? Probably, but then I would have to go to work at some point,... can't just set around laughing at a dog all day...no one has a home for wayward caregivers that I know of....so the Diva and I ( my cat) are just happy as can be right here.....
And leaving the wate outside... this godawful heat is being put to good use.... it's hot enough to take a shower.... so it's all good.... just keepin' it simple......

Peach, I hope your mom is getting good treatment n I would be very upset myself. That is similar how they did my dad in Florida yet, he was in the hospital already. So, whining, sharing, venting, what ever u want to call it for I was doing a whole lot back then too. I almost thought I was going to have to get the Media involved.
Beck, u r too funny with your dog n Lily is just being a lady when she has to take a crap. lol
Burned, that is great advice you gave n you r a great mom. Sorry u r having trouble with one of the children but he will probable get back on track with your teaching him that its not okay to lie. As for your caregiver, I would think they have to get a replacement before letting her take on another job or at least inform you of another caregiver to replace her. Of course the in-house caregiving part is new to me so I am just throwing out my opinion.
Ladee, make sure those roofers pick up those roofing tacks when they drop off the roof. We had some do r roof awhile back n I think I picked up over a dozen n got a freaking flat tire as well. I hope u got some ear plugs. : )

Just quick msg. since it's 630am and need do "daughterly" duties to parents and mad rush to work. Decide go sleep lastnight using my neck bone pillow (forces me to sleep on my back.) Woke up in middle night wanting to sleep on my side...so I changed pillows...and Forgot (!) to put my neck brace. Ohhhhh..I'm in severe pain from neck to head. What a very lousy day to start with! On top of that, it's going to be a rainy day so No Mad Rush to Work! I really, really hate driving in the rain. I've always been afraid of driving (and that's when the road is dry.) When I was in my late teens, I had to take driver's ed classes Twice, the written tests several times (cuz I was too scared to Drive on the road and then my permit expires.)

Did some quick neck and arm exercises and stretches. I was able to lower my pain from 9 to maybe a 7. ...I suspect I have arthritis on the back of my neck. Never got around to doc cuz he will say I'm too young to have arthritis or maybe osteoporosis. Another To do List ...it's really, really difficult to get doctors to believe I'm suffering from "old age" problems because I look like a teenager. Aint my fault I can't gain weight and could never get my body to stretch to At least 5 feet!

Ladee and all, I will read your comments later after work...if my headache has not blown up to full scale migraine. I just had to vent before I get so frustrated that I go doing something stupid like speeding in the rain. Oh, I tried those deep breathing this AM - made my headache worse....

Hey everyone... just a quick drive by , then on to the hard job of taking a nap.... I know, I know, poor Ladee, she has it soooo bad....
Had a great visit with Seeme Sue on the phone this morning...she says Dyna is just like ME... of course I took that as a compliment... I am honored that her dog has a personality that will keep her laughing and on her toes at the same time....
So then I get ready to run errands.... I go into the store and I noticed people were looking down and then looking at me funny... I was in a hurry like always, didn't pay any attention, people tend to look at me funny anyway.... so get done and go to get back in my car... ohhhhhhhh, that's what they were looking at... once again I had on two different shoes..... If anyone ever says anything all I'm going to say is..... I'M A CAREGIVER.... and walk away... so to hell with it... I still had some stops to make and didn't feel like going back to change one damned shoe....
Then I go to Walmart, ya know, our vacation spot, to get a vacuum on sale... were there any in the store... well hell NO... so I go find a manager, now keep in mind, it is very HOT here and I sweat like an iron worker.... so I'm dripping sweat on my glasses, wiping the back of my head because my hair is wet and dripping on my shirt..... the manager is giving me mumble, double talk and avoidance and I put my hand up for him to STOP TALKING.... Here's the deal cowboy ( I am from Texas, so when you say that to someone they know you AREN'T happy!), you have these on SALE and there is only the display one available,,, I am NOT going to go and order one to be delivered to this damned store.... YOU are going to order one... I will be back Tues... if there is not one here, I'm taking the display model at a reduced price on top of the sale price.... Uh No Mam, we uh , we can't.... Again I put my hand up for him to STOP TALKING.... YES, YOU WILL SELL ME THAT ONE IF ANOTHER ONE IS NOT HERE....BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL...... as I'm walking away , he says, UH Mam', do you know you have on two differnt shoes.... YES, I AM A CAREGIVER...... HAVE THAT VACUUM FOR ME TUES.... COWBOY.......!!!!!!!!!!

So, I am going to stay in the house, not answer the door or the phone, take a nap and go get that damned vacuum cleaner Tues.... ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.....

Last night , while my wife and I were watching a movie, here in the performing arts center of our retirement community, my wife started moving her head around and seemed to freeze in place, otherwise. I tried , for sometime to get her up and leave the movie, which was not violent ! I finally was able to get her out of the chair and we left the movie !! I ended up calling one of the nurses who advised me that it was sundialer syndrom ! Boy, caregivers sure never know what's next ! By the way, she has moderate dementia !!

With all the scary stories and movies, I am sure glad I'm catching up on posts in the morning and not before bed! I like scary movies, but not so much blood and guts. And I love vampire stories. Years ago, I had gotten a new Stephen King book for Christmas. About a week later, my husband commented on how I was thrashing and moaning in my sleep every night. And then he noticed what I was reading - "Nightmares and Dreamscapes"! What we like is not always good for us, that's for sure.
Peach-I am praying for you, and your BF, and Mom. I'm glad you found a 24hr number. Thinking of you so you are never really alone. Hugs.
This week has whooshed by me. I got to the State Fair twice with friends. It was so nice! But if I don't eat anything else deep-fried and on a stick for awhile, that would be good. I had oreos, bacon-wrapped tator tots, and even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which is better than it sounds.
The rest of the time has been helping a dear friend. He's my husband's best friend since 4th grade, and that was a long time ago. I sometimes introduce him as my brother - we're that close. Well, his older brother passed away unexpectedly in his sleep this week. He was only 47. And he took care of their Dad, who has Parkinson's. So now our friend is making funeral arrangements, and trying to figure out how to take care of his Dad, who does not want to leave his own house and move in with him. And our friend lost his wife unexpectedly just 3 years ago. He has been through so much!
Imagine a whole house lived in by two cigarette smoking men, and you'll see what I'm up against! The place hasn't had a good cleaning since his Mom died. I spent 5 hours yesterday, with my hands in soapy water, and I'm not done with the kitchen yet! We'll be back at it again today. Once again my parents are seeing how we mobilize for crisis and how we can handle things.
Mom is Mom, but being a bit nicer, which is good. Dad is about the same. Just waiting for his appt next week. No rest for the wicked (that's me!) I guess!

Beck.....loved the Lily story.......mine are not that interested in anything from me but treats. Today it rained hard a couple of different times, so the dogs were in and out. Thunder woke me up from a nap and I ran outside to get the puppies in before they got too wet. Hubby was off today, so he did a lot of things around the house outside, and he put the pool back down with about 2 inches of water in it. After the first storm passed, we all went out and Dyna immediately jumped in the pool. Dyna was drinking the pool water, so Harley jumped in too.......except he PEED in the POOL!!! Pissed hubby off, so he's screaming, "Everyone out of the pool!" Dyna jumped out and lit into Harley........I ran out into the yard to get them to follow me and hubby turned the pool over to empty it. Whatever Dyna did to him, Harley was MAD, so he chased Dyna arund the yard, it started raining hard again, so I went into the breezeway, Harley is chasing Dyna, Dyna jumps into the pool, slides to the other side and flips out, Harley is right behind her, he chomps down on her butt and rolls her in the puddle from the pool and we don't have a camera. It was a riot. Dyna looked like a drowned rat.......which she is not a prissy female, but Harley is nice and dry....considering. The chase must have lasted 10 minutes. They are the most fun we hve had in a long time.

Beck, if this guy knows where you walk with Lily, he might show up again. I seriously think you need to carry pepper spray or something or walk somewhere else. Makes me nervous.

Poor Lily-she must have been so upset to see you laying there and not knowing what to do and probably was so relieved to see you laughing-sounds like she is good hearted.

I'm the party pooper then. I do my very Best to Ignore All their shenanigans! I learned this from when I was little: Hear No Evil, See No Evil. No matter what they do to present themselves to us, we 4 younger ones just look at each other with wide eyes and then PRETEND that nothing has happened! Best way to handle it is my opinion.

I forgot the name of that guy who travels all over the place and tries to confirm or debunk ghost stories and traditional stories of the supernatural. He came to our island, (they had to go and seek the MINORITY local representative) and we ended up viewed in his film (and played on nationwide TV) as still living in grass skirts!!! I tell you, when his show was viewed on TV, it angered a lot of locals. We are not of the cave age. Oh, I got distracted...anyway, the locals took them to the "jungle" area. The host and his crew definitely experienced our "local ghost". Scared the hell of one of them! .. :) By the way, I don't even know WHERE they got the idea that we believed in "Zombies." Zombies are dead people who come alive. The local people's belief is our ANCESTOR is alive as a spirit and is with us. One is fleshly body, the other is a spirit body. Go figure!! Conclusion of his show: It is real....we passed the debunk show...

Beck:
I use to have a dog traveling book that listed all the dog friendly hotels, etc. to stay in the state of Ca. when traveling with your pet. Each place was rated by the number of paws. A one paw rating was only good for a pee. The best rating was 4 paws and an running dog. As dogs go, I give Lily a 4 paws and a running dog rating. She rocks.

As for you Beck, lying in the dirt with your eyes closed. Bwhahahaha. Do you think Lily sees you as her special needs child?

Seriously, you two are a perfect match. There is something so special between you and your dear Lily.

Love, Cat.
