Next! After another fire of course... she should be tired of seeing fires by now...

 Yesterday, I took my daughter, and we investigated a memory care facility. Either I was genuinely impressed, or I am so ready for things to change. The facility was actually very nice! The staff seemed kind and caring, residents were happy and milling about freely. I can see her actually fitting in. Even perhaps liking it there. I am going to have to have help to get her things moved in. My biggest problem was this, I called DH to tell him I was impressed and that we would have to get things rolling for a March move in; he in all his quietness, did not leave the room where SIL was located as he talked to me. On arriving home, she began to question me about where she is going. I told her that she would have to go stay in a care center when it is needed. She backed away from me and clung to a wall, she was shaking and concerned that we were taking her back to the hospital that we got her from. I assured her I would never do that.

So, the month begins, we wait for the title to the truck. It has been 10 days since she said she mailed it. Still no title, and of course she did not send it with any tracking of any sort. Now we wait until when? I am tempted to have her get a duplicate title and have it mailed here from the DMV.


The house was on fire again this morning, but not bad enough to miss pills or cheerios. Poor thing is exhausted so off to sleep she goes. I have another facility to tour this morning, I am not sure it is worth doing but I will go and perhaps it will be even more impressive!

I did not take into account that DH would have plans for today, nor did he take any of my plans into account. Needless to say, plans changed. He needed to go help the kids with their remodel and I could reschedule my tour. I am not at my best anyway. The congestion is pretty intense this afternoon. 

It turned out to be a good thing that I didn't leave as the rep payee called and we discussed the upcoming changes that needed to be made. She was in full agreement. Now to discuss it with the POA. 

The plan for dinner was crock-pot lasagna and creamed spinach (that is for me no one else will try it)
toasted French bread

Creamed spinach

Crock pot lasagna

With that I will close for the night and deal with life as it is for now. Time to pace the floors and worry, not me, SIL

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
