I can't believe it. Look at this. I am online at my mom's! Now I don't have to do the McD's when traveling down here. LOL (But the neighbor's internet connection is so slow.) I still have to go out to eat, and then...load the car. That may take days. Then, of coarse, travel home. So how's everyone else doing today? I can only see: "Yay!! That's good news!!" and can barely maneuver through here because the neighbor's internet connection is making mine slow. Still can't complain cuz it's free. I have got to go eat, though. Thanks for the chat last night Miz and Rep. You bring such joy to my days. Where has everyone else been?
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha. You were saying, "Yeah" to me. ROFL!!!! I should have checked the prior messages first. That is hilarious! How are you doing today? Can't believe how fast time goes with chat. We hardly say anything of substance, except laugh and tell funny jokes. Guess we just need to get away to the boat like that once in awhile to cope with our caregiving days. Splash!!! LOL
I'm doing pretty good today, SS. No gross outs yet. (In case anyone was wondering.) Time does go so fast in chat. My basketball team plays today at 12:40 so if you hear someone yelling & screaming from my direction it's me. :) I love that boat!!
I just had an awesome talk with a neighbor who helped take care of mom's yard for me, while I was her caregiver her. He and his wife kept a good eye on the place, even bike riding by to make sure mom and everything was OK. Living 200 miles from here, it was a comfort to know neighbors were looking out for mom and dad's best interests, especially with me almost 4 hours away. He may still maintain the place for us. He's also looking out for his mom with dementia, who recently got moved from her home. He struggles with the whole emotional thing, too, so I suggested he visit this site. I know it's helped me.
Wonder how bobbie, kb, nutz, and pirate are doing. Has anyone heard from them> I have seen one other posting, and pirate on there. I especially need this site traveling so far from home so I don't feel totally disconnected. What a comfort you all are to me. Thank you!
Hi all- Haven't been here in awhile and its good to see y'all here again. LOL-I am dying laughing over the "Reality Show" titles on the Depression thread. I'm feeling pretty good the last couple of days 'cause I went to the ER about my shoulder (not that they found much) and they gave me painkillers. I cut the tab in thirds because I'm med sensitive and it not only kills the pain but dulls the insanity of caregiving....not advocating drug abuse, but "Go ahead Mom pick that piece of toast off the floor and cram it in your mouth-I can handle it"................
Nins, that is so funny. I am heartened by your humor. Lunch, anyone? LOL Still praying for you and your mom. Miz, you know that goes for you and your family, as well!
SS, thanks so much for the prayers. Hubby's back is better. So far so good!! Mine is fine but a massage sure wouldn't hurt. Our basketball team just lost in double overtime. I'm pretty bummed out about now. And I'm exhausted. I get so upset and involved. Oh well, they will most likely make the NCAA tournament anyway. How are things going for you today?
Going good except for the tired. Got so geeked last night moving furniture, then couldn't sleep. Got so little, I didn't pack much today. Visited some relatives, which was good, but realized I am grieving. I think that's making me tireder than anything. It's amazing how emotional things can take so much out of us. I don't get emotional about games though. Usually just family drama, though I feel I am working through things. Starting to miss my two guys about now. My little camper won the woodsman award with his outdoor and athletic abilities! Can't wait to hug him, cuz this mom is so proud. He had "more fun this year than ever..." I heard. And they still have snow, so went sledding. Brrrrrrr. I enjoyed warmth and sunshine yesterday, but rain and blustery cold March winds today. Even with the snow, I'm starting to feel homesick for my hubby and kid. May have to do something about that the moment I'm rested.
SS, I'm sure you are grieving. I think that's normal. It must be hard doing it by yourself. I guess I get so emotional about the basketball games because that's one of the few things I enjoy these days. I shouldn't let it get to me so much. Are you going home tomorrow?
I am still in NJ and am working on the sorting, etc that we all know goes on when we have to get stuff ready to move/sell.
I'm exhausted and my body aches so bad.
I'm sorry I haven't been up online but I get finished working and fall asleep in the chair.
I have to disconnect because I am in a 110 year old house without and it is thundering outside and if there is a hit anywhere near here, it'll fry the computer.
love and miss you all and I will catch up on the boat!
Bobbie, thinking of you. I'm doing the same in this ole house. I can relate. Will catch up with you when we're both back at home. Take care of you. It's a serious chore, and I understand the exhaustion, too.
Hello Ladies! How was your Sunday? I'm home from my travels, safely. All the snow has melted up north here, except for just touches of it in the woods. Hubby helped me get the car unloaded, and it feels good to be home.
I went to the nursing home to see my dad. They told me that mom had been there. She complained about his missing wedding band, so they filed a report. Well, dad hasn't worn it since his hospitalization 2 years ago. Mom demanded I give it to her, so I did. She has it! Dad didn't lose it. I'm thinking she got a touch of memory loss today. Now I have to talk with his Social Worker tomorrow concerning the report. And her guardian is on vacation right now.
I have chat opened on the boat, if any of you are able to join me.
Just wonder how everyone is doing today. It was nice chatting with Miz. It's beautiful in N.MI right now. Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! Hoping to chat with you all soon. I see Rep met my friend, ColSlif recently. Yeah. How is KB and Bobbie? Haven't heard from either of you for a while...
Hello Karen Beth! Welcome! You're definitely not alone. We are glad to have you join us.
Pamela, it's not you, sweetheart. I was so exhausted last night, I fell down early. I slept all night long, for the first time in months. Will try to be online tonight, but it won't be till after 10:00 EST. Don't know where everyone else was last night. Meet you on the boat. Love to all!
I honestly don't know what I would do without all of you and this site. I feel so totally alone, and I have 5 brothers and sisters. The last go around was Dad snuck into town (talked the neighbor into putting the plug wires back on that I had pulled so I could at least work a full day) and somehow got on jury duty..(?? In just a day? How did that happen?)..and then got in trouble with the judge. Thank God the judge would talk to me and i finally got him "relieved" from his duty. I feel so lost because I am still working full time (plus) and know that will end soon. I better get busy here at work, because I am sure by this afternoon, there will be more "stuff" to take care of. This is all new to me, so you are all such a blessing..THANKS!
Hi Karen, I work full time as well. I am not about to quit...I will take Family Leave but I am not quiting a job that I have worked on for 30 years no way!
