I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
We go to see about getting followup appointment -- oh no can't make appointment in person, must go home and CALL. (idiots) Mom stands up from wheelchair and puts coat on. Intention: She goes home and I go to the market to buy stuff for a cake for Saturday's cake show. I turn my back for 10 seconds to call a taxi --- and Mom trips over the wheelchair footrest and falls flat on her face. Bruised and slightly bleeding eye socket, bloody lip, scraped knee. Mom is picked up and pushed off to the closest place to sit and get looked at: chemotherapy. Take yer coat off Mom, we are going to be here a while..... sent to emergency for the endless wait, then to radiology (hey we were here a few hours ago) and back to emergency. NINE HOURS TOTAL IN THE HELLHOLE. And now I have to wake her up every 2 hours tonight to make sure she is still alive and alert.
We come home and Mom fishes her glasses out of her purse, that had survived falling on the floor of the hospital -- and now the lens is fallen out. So now tomorrow is all messed up too. Sigh. NO YOU CANNOT PUT OFF FIXING YOUR GLASSES.
Mom swears she didn't do it on purpose. But it seems every time I want to do something for *me* (like the food show, or buying cake supplies, or going to a business networking event, or .....) something comes along to mess up my life. I'm just not meant to have any happiness in my life. KMN
Really, you may find the glues work so well, you won't have to do the repair. The only thing they do is glue them in place. If you get a glue smear anywhere on the lens, just clean it off with acetone.

it reminds me of my army days . one night i was cussin god because i couldnt see out my windshield on the muddy tank trails . my buddy told me " clean the mud off your headlights you fn idiot " ..
duh ..
Why can't mom say "I can't hear" to staff? It would be so much more effective if the "complaint" came from her. GRRRRRRR.
In fact my whine is today I had planned on doing so much but after I got through scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom floor I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do after was have a shower and go to bed. Getting old sucks. I long for the days when I had so much energy and a fast metabolism. :(
Hubby was hungry and didn't want to wait for me to get around to cooking fish for dinner so he made cheeseburgers for himself and Mom! I just added a little cottage cheese and she was happy. I ended up with Taco Salad again. I have been working on losing weight for the last 4 weeks and have lost about 8 lbs so I am happy because I still have some kind of treat at the end of the day.
Can I ask, how did he get all those new clothes, socks, unused items? How did you not know about it? For financial reasons, can some be returned? Is he doing this, or are they gifts? Is it time to get better control of his spending? Will a Spring into Summer yard Sale help? He might need the money for his future care.
This is not a criticism of you, Stacey.
im that way about housecleaning dread but i learned something this week . usually i make a kitchen mess and decide the dirty pans and stuff need to soak for ten days or so . i was wrong . this time when i made brats i still had enough energy left afterwards to wash the grinder , stuffer and such . it took ten minutes at tops . i honestly thought the crap needed to soak for easier cleanup . nope . it washed off with ease .
ive only been back ( upstairs ) in my own house for 11 months . when i get my system together this place will tick like clockwork .
gonna get some carpet remnants and build a couple rooms of quiltwork carpeting . its very beautiful . our first home still sports one of these homemade carpets thats 25 yrs old .
I have been gifted a 3x nighty with a cow on it. I am, a c o w ? ?
I want the Snoopy Onesie, haha
I need furry slippers
I have a couple of senior citizens for trade!
