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.
My brother went to Italy, right before they shut down, brought home a cold.
Houseflower, thanks, that's what I was thinking, to keep an eye on, her cognition wasn't not great today, cold be covid brain fog, also could be from being alone so much, but UTI is definitely something to think of if it gets worse.
(i’ve told them directly, too).

Learning all the things he did after retirement, he truly reinvented himself.
Somedays I feel a little silly for being a 60 year old and finally learning all the things I never new because of being dyslexic, because I never new how to learn. Now that I'm learning how, and the positive benefits of dyslexia, I've been inspired to keep learning.
He totally inspired me to keep up what I've been doing.
He sold his house, stopped drinking, in his 60s, bought an RV. Worked at Disney land in the winter, traveled the US in the summer, went to 48 State Capitols.
Came back and became a horse trainer.
All between 60 and 90 .
So inspiring
It’s a big truck, the biggest ‘rigid’ (ie not a semi-trailer), with 10 wheels, plus a car trailer with four more wheels. One thing that might be useful for more (normal? sensible?) posters might be the sticker I read every time I climb up the 4 step ladder into the truck cabin. The little picture shows ‘3 points anchorage’ - two hands on the side hand rails and one foot on a step, while the other foot takes the next step up. I am now very used to ‘3 points holding on’ for stability, and it’s not a bad habit to keep living with. A much better habit than the trip. I glad that’s the last load. I reckon at 77 I’m too old for this.
It’s good to find that the Age Care people are still in the same place!
Love, Margaret
Take care, get some rest, things will get unpacked , when they get unpacked. No hurry now, to get things done.
So much easier for me now to just walk away.
I'm at peace in my heart, don't need drama.
It's a very good place to be.
Many of the post that are completely off the wall are just here out of boredom. I'm not giving anyone the satisfaction of causing me drama anymore.

Hard work moving but I think we are capable of more than we are giving ourselves credit for.
I am not super strong but moved in summer and between liquidating, decluttering, selling, giving away furniture, household items, looking for new furniture, ordering, legal and other concerns I worked 10-16 hours days. Actually it felt great, physically as well. Now even after 3 months there are things to do, I am in need to do more.
Having sick and getting worse husband seems to create a need for me to be constantly on the move. I need projects, ideas, purpose.
I am glad it is behind you.
Nothing to do now only wait till morning when they can run some tests and determine what is wrong which could be days.
Nothing to do with Parkinson’s as per neurologist sudden changes don’t occur, so very distressing but many symptoms point to something else.
Nacy - It's good to keep your peace.
Eva - Moving is such a lot of work and so is settling in to a new place. I am so sorry to hear that your dh is in hospital, I hope you can get some rest and they find out what is wrong. I think needing activity and projects is part of coping with your husband's illness. You may be grieving the losses you both are experiencing. Such a hard time!!! ((((hugs))))
I hope everything works out for your husband.
Hugs
Evamar, hope you will update us on your hubby.
Everyone hang in there. It's a bumpy ride.
They are going to admit my husband to hospital, spending time in emergency as there are no rooms available. Maybe tomorrow?
Doctor was supposed to see us or call at 2pm.
Not happening.
Hubby is in so much pain, nothing helped so far, not eating at all and very agitated which is unusual for him.
Been a tough year for many. Myself included.
Hubby in emergency still no rooms and shortage of staff so no improvement today.
Golden,
Hope all goes well tomorrow and it will. I know that final transaction and waiting seems like forever.
I was nervous too in July. It made me laugh to see all that money and poof like magic it disappeared in few moments as condo was paid from it. No regrets though, have lovely place.
Feels lonely tonight.
Keep us posted
Fear it is going to be not easy today.
so sorry to hear about your husband . I hope he starts getting the care he needs soon . Remember to eat and get your rest , and remember to take daily meds if you normally take any .
(((Hugs))).
Thinking of you and your hubby today.
No changes or plan as hubby is still in emergency.
Yesterday pain was worse and the gave him Seroquel for agitation and anxiety and enough painkillers that he has less pain, but no idea what is causing it.
Maybe tomorrow they will transfer him.
Has he had scans of the area in pain?
I cannot believe you are not admitted and he's still in ER. Call on Social Services tomorrow; be certain this is well covered.
Yikes I am so sorry about this and am thinking you must be exhausted. I checked in to night just to see how things are with you. Please take care. Your poor hubby!
