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.

Google "OT and wheelchair users" and you will see why the OT is coming to visit.
this is more of a comment to myself, but i feel like writing it anyway.
...often one feels like only mentioning when things go badly
...and one forgets to mention, when things go well!
i am sooo glad the private caregivers we have do such a great job.
kind, caring, sweet, competent.
obviously this is very good for my LOs.
BUT also it's muccccch better for me.
i am much less stressed.
before these caregivers, we had other ones.
not good.
then, they did something awful.
i interviewed many new ones.
i decided on the ones we have now.
they're really nice. and they're in a verrry sweet mood, every day, while they help my LOs. they also already helped during an emergency and did a great job. extremely luckily, my LOs are fine.
soooo, this is just to say (i tell them this directly too, often), that i'm really glad we have them.
at xmas time we had a lot of fun together -- i gave them reindeer antlers, and we all wore them daily, while we helped out my LOs and created a wonderful xmas for them.
in the mornings, my father would wake up and see a face in front of him with 2 big reindeer antlers.
bundle of joy :)
lu - that's what I was thinking with Rocky. I may have to stay with dd for a short while in transition and she has 2 cats and a dog. But if Rocky is with me (and my plush camo blanket) I think she will be OK. One of the cats has visited here on a leash and Rocky was cautious but not freaked out. She actually looked a bit interested.
Long gloomy day in Illinois! Poured rain all day. My son picked up our new van today. Wheelchair accessible, so he'll be able to take me out sometimes. My first outing will be to my grandson's ice hockey game Saturday afternoon if doctor approves me going out. My stepson and his wife left to go back to Maine. I'll miss them.
That's wonderful youv'e found a new place and you took the big step~
GOOD JOB!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EARLY SEND!
Thx cw, My puttering away at downsizing actually has accomplished a reasonable amount. But I still have more to do.
I don't look like my passport picture from 1980.
and very nice you received a gift! :)
happy early birthday!! :) :)

dear everyone,
meanwhile, here's just another funny quote to make us smile/laugh :)
"If you look like your passport picture, you probably need a trip."
I am okay and unfollowed so many.
Now my News Feed is better.
I do think in part, the Full Moon was affecting me.
An early birthday card arrived with enough gift to get the leak in the kitchen sink and the running toilet repaired. Any left over will be saved, because I would no longer be able to figure out how to have fun!
Happy Birthday to those with February and March Birthdays!
Really early for March, huh?
The house still needs some downsizing. I need to reduce belongings to fit a two bedroom + den unit, and some repairs/renos by R are needed, but I was assessed and I am quite happy with the figure.
I don't plan to sell till several months after condo possession date which gives me time for the transition. The trickiest part may be moving Rocky. She is such a creature of habit and likes things to stay the same. But she, like other cats, loves cardboard boxes so that should help. 😊
hope you're ok!! :)

hugs and courage to everyone, whatever challenges you're facing.

emmmmm....hopefully it's true :).
I'm not noticing a huge increase in "trolls, sock puppets, influencers, and toxic manipulators" in any the threads I usually follow🤔. I'll admit I've dropped one or two I regularly followed because of a huge increase in the number of comments, I figure I can decrease the volume of my daily feed by checking in every few days.
Are you sure you aren't just feeling moonstruck?😉
To unfollow a thread does not help, because all the people you may know keep posting there. Cannot "UNFOLLOW" that many people, that many threads.
Logging out of AgingCare forum until it is cleaned up of trolls, sock puppets, influencers, and toxic manipulators.
