WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2022

kevrit · September 2022

Down 1.5 pounds this month. Goings been tough with med change, tooth problem, and sinus surgery but managing to go in the right direction.

Flu and CoVid double jab in an hour, then some Wally-world for necessities then home. Hope I don’t react this year. When I do, it is only for a day or two at most so Friday jab is good.

Tina-- Hugs!
Katla--Pray all goes well with DH coming home today.
Well it is Friday and I am almost off work and have the weekend off. I am surprised I still have a job as been stressful week, last couple days the worst and my mood has not been good. Here is looking forward to the weekend off and a new month.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

Awful night, but I am determined to see the other side. Maybe slept 2 hours. Now drinking my 80 ozs of water today. Only sipping chicken broth. 😢💖

Heather, Machka's right - the "not clever" ones are just the cannon fodder to see if they can draw your fire. Two mice that close together is an issue. Might be your neighbor's new building project rousted a bunch of them your way, might be the time of year, but there isn't just one, I promise. Check all dark places, under furniture, etc., and do whatever you must. I would bet Margaret will have a natural remedy that won't hurt the kids but can repel the rodents....

The worst mouse problem I ever had was when my first husband and I rented a farmhouse outside of Lakenheath. When the farmer burned the field after harvest, we were inundated with mice. We tried the trap thing, which entailed a half dozen sleepless nights of "pop-SQUEE!" all over the house and burial detail in the morning. Won't do that again... [/quote]

We are having issues here too. In the garage and in my garden. We can't use poison to get them because we don't want the outside cats getting them and eating them(and getting sick or or worse).
I have traps set but haven't had any luck.
We put up an ultrasonic thing in the garage a few days ago, not sure if it is working.
We have so much food out there that they are getting into- need to clean all the pantries really well and set more traps.
In the back yard, the one cat I kicked out of the house because he wouldn't stop peeing everywhere(including ON me when I was asleep) has caught at least two that I have seen.

Mom is having trouble with mice at her house too. Not sure how they are getting in her house but they are- she is in the country so not surprised but this year is a lot worse than ever before.

Took mom to her surgery yesterday- it did take longer than expected but went really well.
The hole he was repairing was smaller than expected but there was a flap or something that was too low so he took cartlidge and built it up and also broke up a lot of old scar tissue from almost 80 yrs of ear infections.
Up at 4AM, left her house at 4:45, at the hospital at 5:10 and checked in at 5:30, surgery at 7:30.
I was good until 3/4 of the drive home last night and my eyes were so tired. The last ten miles were rough but glad to be back home and in my bed. Slept so good, didn't even hear dh snoring next to me or him get up and go to work.
I didnt stay last night as she said she was fine and I didn't need to stay. She just kept telling me all day how much she appreciated me being there.
The best part of the trip up, besides her getting this finally taken care of, is I found out some things about the room mate.
Mom wants her OUT- the lady has an offer for a caretaker position that mom is hoping she will take, if not, mom will have to be the one to tell her to move out. I told mom I would love to see her out by the first of December.
I told her also, that that is why I haven't been coming up and she understands.
Found out that the lady has not paid ANYTHING to live there, taking over the place since April.
She does pay for the internet but that is because she wanted better than what mom had. She has not offered to pay anything for the extra utilities-tv and computer and lights are all on any time she is awake and at the house. She doesn't help with clean up- never cooks a thing. She does pick up food occasionally for both of them but mostly just for herself. She keeps telling my mom what to do/what not to do(like to not plant so much in the garden-mom's thought on that was, Watch me, I will plant double!)
So, sounds like it won't be long and it will be back to how it was.
It is a good thing because I see I will need to be up there a lot more. Mom is getting more forgetful- repeating herself terrible. She is 79. Not sure how much of it is from the meds from her surgery but I will be there more, just to be sure. It will be great to have my room back and have a place to get away when I need it.

While she was in surgery it was too cold to be sitting in the car. I started walking around the parking lots around the whole building. Kept walking, warmed up, and by the time I was ready to sit down, I was really warm and had walked over my 10K steps and just about 5 miles. Hit over that by the end of the day

As I understand it, DH will join me at the facility where I have been staying. I am optimistic that he will be here today. I like the apartment and facilities. Keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well. I am grateful for our daughter’s help and support. ❤️ 😘 ⭐️

It's not a good day. The Mister is making me frustrated as is my tenant. I'm quite angry at the moment.

Rebecca-I hope you get some answers soon!

Katla-I hope your DH gets to join you today! Crossing my fingers for you.

Debbie-I hope the roommate situation is resolved soon. That has to be irritating for you and your mother.

Thanks for the new thread, Barbie.

Heather - One of the more apt things I've ever read. While the abuse always tends to be the focus, it wasn't every moment of every day, whereas the general emotional neglect for all of us was 24-7. I don't blame my mother - she was engrossed in a fight for the survival of her children, as well as her own survival, and her own upbringing certainly didn't give her the tools she needed--every battle she won was through her own determination that losing wasn't an option. She was our rock and our center, so we tend to believe that of our own lives as well.
