Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I started my rant here with a nice paragraph, but in the way my life has gone lately, I hit something on the tablet, and I can’t get that paragraph back.
I don’t want to be on this forum (you’re all very nice and can come to my imaginary pool party though (See? My nice paragraph was about being at a pool I don’t have)). I don’t want to be worried about what a <self-censored> facility owner is going to do because I dared to disagree with them (last time they filed a malicious APS case, although the state agrees with my calculations). I don’t want to worry about a job because of caregiving (I lost it). I don’t want to clean out someone else’s house (so lonely and sad). I don’t want to spent my life sorting, scanning and filing paperwork in order to withstand category 5 audits (I rate audits like hurricanes, but unless I work for the IRS or Medicaid recovery (I don’t), couldn’t I skip the audit scale and have a nice cappuccino instead?) I don’t want to know the processes for disconnections, delinquencies, pre-foreclosures, loss mitigation or Medicaid unwinding (I do now!). I don’t want to know how to get public assistance for the elderly. I don’t want to write endless emails and make pointless calls. This was just part of my last 24 hours (none of it by a lovely pool).
At least the loved one finally received some small, but welcome, help late yesterday. I nearly burst into tears that I didn’t have to talk to one more person and could finish the week on a positive.
That’s all. I hope this wasn’t the wrong place to put what’s on my mind, and more importantly, I hope your weekend is lovely (but if it involves a pool, please break it to me gently.)
You’re right, I’m solo. Well, and the helpful cats of course. Can’t have official paperwork without cat hair scanned in. Objectively I think I’m doing a good job within big constraints, but just not fast enough or well enough for some others so mostly I feel like I am failing all day every day, except like today when I grump at the world that time, money, math and me have limits and we’re all well past them.
Thanks for the support.
The cats are lecturing me about the importance of sleep, and I shall listen to them. For once. Sleep well!

It’s funny how everyone is different, not better or worse, just different.
I am the exact opposite of you. I can’t eat when I am stressed. I completely lose my appetite.
Some people reach for food for comfort when they are stressed and others push it away because food will make them nauseous if they try to eat when they are stressed.
I need less stress. Less problems. We all do.
((Hug))
I hope they’re doing the right thing for her. Some people lose the will to live, when they’re taken away from their home.
Yeah, it’s hard for me to eat anything if I am upset.
"today when I grump at the world"
Hope today is better Robin!
If not, let's grump together 😖😖
I have the best neighbors in the world! Truly good people.
Venting, depending on where in KS Cat’s friend is going, there are some nice IL places. Also Cat, my mom’s neighbors have stayed in touch with me, and maybe if you and your neighbor wanted, you could either write to each other or chat by Zoom sometimes? Might make her transition easier.
Hope everyone has a splendid day.
Thanks! I wish! I don’t know when was my last splendid day.
I appreciate the grace and patience I’ve been afforded to noodle through this stuff. Thank you.
The wind is changing here.
I also wish us all a splendid day! :)
There's absolutely no hope for her now - the cancer has spread too far. Maybe a year and a half ago when she first went to the doctor but not now. Why didn't she insist on an x-ray?
Venting, don’t worry. You continue making the greatest life for yourself. Their time will come.
Hello Karma
So sorry about your neighbor. My doctor is like your doctor and does X-rays. I have asthma too.
It’s a shame that your neighbor’s doctor didn’t take precautions.
Our doctor immediately sent my husband for further testing when his labs were off. That’s how his prostate cancer was diagnosed early. He had radiation treatments and is doing well now.
We are fortunate to have a doctor who stays on top of things.
My hub's niece is in her second year of medical school. She said that most students just go there to take their exams. They could fail over and over again and still get put through. She also said most students seek out third party resources to get their full education. The students basically pay to take their tests and that's it. No wonder there are so many incompetent doctors out there. Sad.
Nothing shocks me anymore, but that is terribly sad.
But life happens... as wonderful and sad as it can be.
