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.
Treasure stuff, keep, throw, move on..

The things that bury you may also be the soil where you bloom.
I just woke up from an awful nightmare.
In my nightmare, I was a woman but with a beard. I was so unhappy with it. I tried to shave it off but it came back even thicker.
Suddenly I woke up and happily realized it was just a dream.
I’m going through a lot of stress these days. A lot of things are out of my control. I’m trying to work on the things that are in my control. It’s tough.
I hear the new covid strain has such sore throats that it is called "RazorBlade throat" as a nickname. Though none seem to be dying of either. During radiation I took great care to not get anything, and was fully masked when out and about to try not to delay treatments. I still mask on public transit these days. I see all manner of taking care and not and again, all comes down to our attempting to stay well best we can. Good luck to all.
I've heard of a few covid cases in are area also.
DH unwell tonight, went to bed at 7pm. Hopefully just a temporary chill. Mother face-planted out of her wheelchair last week. Had hip pain for 1 day - now pain free. Other LO fell again, ambo again. I stayed home & out of that.
Acceptance is my new thing.
I breath in, hold, breathe out.
Wishing you peace as you navigate this difficult time. ((((Hugs))))
The slow decline is hard to watch and we sometimes hope LO passes sooner comfortably .
On my mind
My mom's slipping , went from her constant wanting to go, go, go, to having to push a little to get her out., added swelling, she looks like she is gaining weight. I see the writing on the wall, and we all know I have no power, to even find out how her health is.
The thing is, I feel very little, just acceptance , she is almost 90, this is what happens. It feels like I should feel more, but I just don't. I guess I'm wondering if this is normal
Someone we did business with just had his 1st grand baby, was looking forward to retiring this year, lots of retirement plans to look forward to and he had a stroke that cost him his life. So sudden and so final.
I pray that anyone feeling stuck will seriously consider how to remove themselves from being care slaves to ungrateful, unappreciative, manipulative, mean parents and embrace their own lives. None of us are promised tomorrow.
Going July 7th. Nice little place on a beach, in a bay. 💕💕 So glad I thought of this.
I'm only loyal to Samsung because it's what I already know, every software upgrade is a headache but at least it's a somewhat familiar headache. Today I've been trying to pair the phone with my fitbit but no matter what I've tried it just doesn't show up when I scan for it. It's no big deal because the app stopped being supported on my old phone so I already paired it with my tablet, but it would be nice to actually be able to use the GPS features.
My phone is the most basic one available because I don't need/want a fancy phone, I'm happy to be able to call and text and use the internet occasionally (with WiFi). I still have to look into downloading some maps so I can navigate without data - or maybe one of these days I'll get a data plan 🤷♀️
I'm the techie here but not interested in android phones, R's in particular. He. who has more phone troubles than anyone I have ever met, is learning about his phone (Samsung). I figure he needs to. He's had to set up many new ones. The guy he currently buys from helps with anything and everything. He's great. We have a back up iPhone that we can switch for him to use or me as needed.
Time for me to get an upgrade. Mine's old but does everything I need it too. However, I dropped it and it sat in water for about 1/2 hour which didn't do it any good. It's still working but limping a bit. I found out the "bury it in rice" is not considered a good thing any more. Turn it off and let it dry gently. A fan can help.
As far as phones or computers go, I am with the keep playing with it group. Eventually things seems to work out.
Finally got a cheque in the mail so I used the phone app to deposit it. I've been wanting to do that for a while lol. Yay!!!
Even N. is starting to fail under the onslaught of all that's new.
Quite honestly it is no wonder the elderly as sitting ducks for scams. It is all so hard we just want someone to do it for us.
GOOD WORK, cwillie! Kudos!
