@pridesabtch - So sorry for both your MIL and your mom's issues, so tough on them and the whole family. My mom had dementia (amid other mental health issues) and navigating trying to help someone who can't make clear decisions for themselves is really challenging both mentally and physically. Do your best to take care of yourself, so you can stay strong for yourself & others! It's a tough gig for sure!!1

I've been meeting my goals since Monday, and weighing and logging daily. The hubby is visiting his family this weekend and I'm opting out because I know it's a day filled with fatty food and alcohol, and I'd either have to abstain or bring my own food, both of which would elicit eyerolls from his family. His sister can be really cutting and as much as I don't want to make my husband travel alone, my mindset is too new and I know I'd abandon it and tell myself I'll "start fresh on Monday" especially dealing with their "peer pressure" and watching everyone else party it up. Not to mention I am uncomfortable being around his sister for an extended period, as like I said she's treated me and my kids like crap in the past, and allowed her kids to treat us the same way. Like her kids not acknowledging us when we're visiting (they'll walk right past without even a hello, and she says nothing), or leaving a room the moment we enter. Those issues happened 18 months ago when we threw an 80th birthday party for his mom, where she acted like a selfish brat and a tyrant but because she is such a bully no one would confront her - she's also been going through a stressful time for years now between a divorce and buying a business and various kid issues, but the way she deals with it is "punching down" to people who don't deserve it but are easy targets. Like me and my kids. I felt like it was my husband's job to stick up for us, I didn't want to be the one to confront her about her behavior - certainly not at their mom's 80th birthday - and in the months that followed when her own family wouldn't do it, it just feeds the idea that I'm "oversensitive" and "imagining things." So a long way around to say that I can be around her and be nice - we've had many dealings since then, and she's even spent the night here when she was traveling for business and it was fine - but I'm not interested in spending the night in her home at the same time struggling to maintain a renewed mindset. But as you can see from the novel I've written I feel a little guilty and defensive about it, especially since his sister has asked a couple of times if I'm coming. I was mad at my husband because even then, instead of bringing up the real issue he said "I think she feels uncomfortable being the only spouse" (since both his brother & sister are divorced and single) so once again it's putting it on me, and his sister texted to say she "considers me a sister" and to please come.
So now I'm afraid it will become a "thing" if I don't come....blah blah blah. Right now I am falling down on the side of prioritizing my own health & well-being....but being a "people pleaser" that can take a bit of backbone on my part! Anywho sorry for the rant....on with the day!

So yesterday evening was a total cluster f. My mom's neighbor called me to tell me she was very upset about losing her drivers license and that the DMV wouldn't renew her license because she had too many accidents and that the insurance company was trying to take her house. None of this is true, but she truly believed it was. What actually happened was that her doctor said she needed new glasses and that technically her eyesight was below the DMV standards. I set an eye appointment for October 3, and told her if she didn't feel comfortable driving I could take her places. After getting off the phone with the neighbor, I called mom. She asked where I was, because I was supposed to be taking her to the store & the bank. Mind you this was never discussed. I did however go take her to the store and try to convince her that she still had a license and that the DMV has nothing to do with this. Shopping with her made it obvious just how easily confused she is. I just don't know what to do. Is it time to put her into assisted living? She will not like that, but I asked her years ago what she wanted to do when things got to the point where she needed help. Did she want in-home care or to go to an assisted living home. She chose assisted living. I know it will be a fight, but I also know that when she was of sound mind that is what she chose. How do I know the right time for these things?
On the other side my MIL, took the cancer diagnosis rather well. Honestly, I think it is shock, but she was in a pretty positive mindset. They will do a biopsy and we will learn more about it, but because it has metastasized it is considered stage 4.
Hopefully today will have less drama. Easy day at work, then a bike ride, shower & dinner. The planned bike ride is a more intense ride than I have done in a while and I'm nervous, but excited. Hope I can hold zone 3 for 20 minutes 2 times.

Did everything on my list yesterday except for the fact that I had a beer. Just one beer, so I'm not too disappointed in that. It was a rough day. I spent many hours researching assisted living sites for mom. She isn't quite there yet, but I want to have her finances in order when the time comes and not be surprised. It is crazy expensive. Mom makes $1200 through social security each month, and the average cost of assisted living is $4000/month. She does have some savings, but it's only enough to keep her in the assisted living homes for about 4 years. Because of this I don't want to send her too soon. That and as I said, right now she is able to do most things on her own. I think a better fit would be someone who came over 2/3 times a week to check on her and make sure she is taking her medication. That has to be cheaper...
Anyway, went for a bike ride yesterday. It felt pretty good for a change. Probably because I actually ate lunch yesterday and I needed a mental release. Went home to a wonderful home cooked meal, Cajun salmon, mashed potatoes and sautéed peas. It was kind of a late dinner, so I pretty much crashed after we ate.
Doing a little more research today, but mostly just work. I have a run/walk planned for this evening. Then clean up and maybe go to a pool tournament. I'm really not good enough for a tournament, but a few guys have encouraged me to try it. Sounds like a fun night. Only down side is I worry about the dog. Now that he has to be kenneled when we aren't home, I feel bad if Tim and I go out at night. I'd go solo, but I'm not sure the hubby would feel it was safe. We'll see.

Made it through another teaching week with minimal prep by falling back on last year's modules and winging it a bit. I usually go into a new academic year charged with a lot more energy and inspiration as well as a long list of new things I want to try. This semester, I feel like the spark is missing. My students are great and my classes are going well; I'm just not feeling it. So I've been resisting all the additional things I should be getting done - grading, compliance training, updating modules, etc.
I think my struggle to maintain focus and motivation outside of the classroom is part of a more general malaise. Yesterday's weather was gorgeous - perfect for a brisk walk or working in the garden - but I spent the afternoon indoors doing word puzzles, looking up amigurumi crochet patterns, and taking a nap. So many things that I usually enjoy feel like a chore these days. Is there such a thing as responsibility fatigue?
Ah, well. We've got one more day of decent weather before a soggy weekend, so I'd best try to take advantage of it. My older grandsons are coming for a sleepover and have put in a few requests. My car is in the shop, so my daughter is picking me up to grocery shop. Maybe I can squeeze in a walk.

@pridesabtch - Oh, you're giving me flashbacks of my own experience with my mom. The neighbors calling because she's knocking on their door looking for her parents...and none of us lived close to her. My oldest sister was very gung-ho to sell her house and move her right into assisted living, but she was basically in the same position as your mom and I fought to keep her at home for as long as possible. There was a great senior center in our town where she volunteered a bit before she got too far along, but they had a van that would come pick her up and bring her to the center. Volunteers used to grocery shop for her too. We ended up getting a person through a homecare agency (I forget which one) and that's not cheap either but cheaper than assisted living, and the woman was lovely and became like a friend to mom that she looked forward to seeing. But definitely research the assisted living centers and sort of monitor that too - because if there's one in particular you land on and a room becomes available, that might dictate when you make the move. Our biggest fear was that there'd be some kind of emergency that would necessitate moving her sooner than we planned, and there would be no place for her to go. Anyway my heart goes out to you!!!!1

@jennysweet58 - I love a quiet rainy (or snowy) day when I have the house to myself, no place I need to go, no major obligations, and no one but myself to fix meals for. Such a lovely break! Enjoy your quiet time.1

10. Immediate family: Clean room; work toward sleeping in room. Clean up behind desk. Make appointments for hearing, sleep study, vet. Keep track of plans for Disney. Drive white car together; practice solo driving. Work on staying home solo when dark.
11. Medical: YMCA classes. Lift @ lunch. Maintain @ 155 w defined muscle tone.

13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How are you supposed to feel about students who come once every ten days, presumably so their families don’t lose state benefits? How do I care without it becoming worry?
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

Made all my goals for yesterday, plan to do the same today. I thoroughly enjoyed my day yesterday - did a bunch of food prep, watched some fun TV, did a couple of crossword puzzles, then went to bed early and slept 10 hours.
Very well-rested today! ha ha. This is Day 7 of me getting my act back together and am feeling so good - digestion & related issues 
are so much better, not to mention a huge drop in my overall anxiety levels. Being back on my "meds" (exercise & healthy eating) feels so good, it's a wonder I keep falling off the wagon as much as I do!
