@ahoy_m8 Mothers! My dad is the type to never tell me anything is wrong and overdo it and wind up sicker. My mom is….my best friend and worst enemy. We have been through a lot of boundary wars.
I’m glad you have siblings, I hope your mom pulls through. So much on your plate!6 -

Good day to everyone
@MissMay as usual your gardens are most beautiful! I planted some snap dragoons this year and love the colors
AF last night so yeah, it is sometimes really hard lately
I am still madder than a hornet trying to get the medical equipment to my mothers house. The details are ugly and she has been home since Sunday afternoon.
I am at the breaking point between this, the remodel and the support from my siblings, well lets just say I get some atta girl you are doing good. Real help nope. But in all fairness my sister is in OH I am in WA. My 2 brothers, they are near but my younger only irritates (the know it all, talks to loud, I can fix anything since I am so good). I get it he is just trying to help. My older brother will do anything I ask but I have to direct EVERYTHING there is no take the helm.
Oh I am so sorry to have vented on you all, now that the words are all I will take a deep breath and move forward. Off to home depot, then to the mothers house to give her a shower and prep her meals today.

Hi : - )
My name is Dawn.
My continuing goal is 16-20 AF days per month.
I had 19AF days in June.
Diary style:
Friday July 15 - Mojitos with a new-ish friend (1 year). We had a wonderful visit on my shady porch during a hot day. Planned drinks for Saturday, which will bring me to 50% A and AF days.
Saturday July 16 - Gin slings and stuff. Going to try to stay AF until Friday now.
Sunday July 17 - AF - I got a touch of a sunburn saturday, so stayed in the shade mostly. Working towards a nice base tan before my September holidays so that I don't burn there. Kind of hard to get except on the weekends since 4pm does not lead to much tan. Trying for no A days until the weekend.
Monday July 18 - AF - The scale goes down when I don't have alcohol, no doubt about it.
Tuesday July 19 - AF - Worked an extra unexpected shift, really felt like having drinks afterward, but I am picking up extra shifts for Wednesday, so didn't want to go into a very long day feeling possibly not great.
Wednesday July 20 - AF - That was not easy. I was dreaming of a Singapore Sling the last 4 hours of my shift. What finally got me not to was the thought of a slimmer belly the next morning if I didn't have any alcohol. I had an AF beer on the porch instead.
Rolling total - 12AF days out of 20 days.5 -

@MissMay - Beautiful garden pics!!! You'll enjoy sitting out I'm sure with one of your special drinks in a pretty glass just to admire it being lovely and in ship shape!
Regarding parents ... I feel for ya'll!!! Aging parents are very demanding and do expect things the way they want ... I guess we'll all be there soon enough as well. My mom and I are definitely in that rub each other the wrong way and I'm glad my sister is around to assist.
Update on my mom's roadtrip ... she has made the turnaround in Memphis and had a great visit with my brother and now is heading back through more friends and family visiting this week before heading the Louisiana next week. To be so adventurous at 85! There were tears when she left my brothers as she thinks it will be her last time to see him as he does not travel to see her unless I book him a flight.4 -

I've been out of pocket, home computer issues and busy with work. So behind on home projects!
