    Alzheimer's is one form of dementia and may or may not be what your father has, but you may be able to use some of these resources. There may be caregiver groups you can meet with either in person or virtually.

    Good Monday!

    Quiet I crave it especially at end of work day or when working on an involved project. My SIL like my DH always has something turned on for noise. When DH would go away for weekend, I rarely turned on TV or music. Just noise overload.

    Speaking of DH.....he complained about not going to KY all week, then decided not to go. SMH. I hung out with him Saturday watching mindless TV. Yesterday I had to buckle down to pay property taxes and gather tax stuffs for accountant. No noise in back room and DH was good at basically leaving me alone. I can get nasty if I am trying to work on important stuffs and keep getting interrupted. I still need to put some papers in his file cabinet, but ran out of time yesterday. The upside is I have nothing urgent as of this morning. Did take a moment to start putting all accounts in my just in case book. Had friends coming for Super bowl watch (I sually like commercials and halftime) . This was our dessert night with added appetizers. I had planned on making chicken salad and brownie bites. Chose paperwork instead, so bought those things. It was still good. Relaxing evening. Kitchen cleaned and dishwasher running while watching game.

    Last week was not good for goals. Lots of blanks on my calendar. I am hoping for a better goal oriented week. Slowly but surely catching up on past due projects. I did finish one book and started another.

    Beth I am happy for you getting implant. So many people won't even wear hearing aids!

    Rebecca I am so happy for you! We told you oldest would love his pillow! :)

    UTIs When I was in my 20s and early 30's UTIs were a bi-weekly thing. Allergy to sulfa drugs developed as I was on them so much. Doctor finally put me on a really low does of an antibiotic for a year. I will say that I don't think I have had but maybe one since then. Hugs to those suffering with them. The last three years it has been fighting yeast infections-ugh.

    I know there was more I wanted to comment on, but must get ready for work.

    Healing thoughts!
    Congratulations on successes!
    Safe travels!

    Grateful you are all here!

    Used a de-bobbler for the first time ever today! It worked! My best long black cardigan was covered in bobbles after just one wash. I should have taken it back to M&S, but I had no receipt, and couldn't be bothered. I had seen the machines on YouTube, and was sceptical, but they weren't expensive. Anyway, my cardi-coat is now smooth.

    John has gone off to have his hair cut and took the Sodastream CO2 cylinder with him to buy a refill. It always amuses me how much heavier the filled one is. :D
    Gorgeous, blue sky day here.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Today is Clean your computer day! I forget who had the old computer with the sticky space key, but this fits! Take a Q-Tip (or similar) moisten with alcohol then use that to clean the keys on your keyboard. Be sure the device is off before starting! You may type or send something unwanted otherwise!! ⌨️. YUMMY Cream Puffs!! 💨

    I need to get back doing them-did good a few days then haven't been back doing them since I went to mom's.

    Went the whole weekend with out using the nebulizer after using it at least twice a day for over 6 weeks. Still not totally better but a lot better than I was.

    Heading up to storage to drop off half the Christmas stuff and some other misc. that I want up there so it isn't in the garage or house. Will make another run up next week for the rest of it. I will be pulling out the triplet stroller that has been up there in about a month and try and sell it- not the right time of year for it right now.

    Class tonight then get together with them at the Mexican place

    Today’s gratitude: Zicam ;}
    Yesterday’s gratitude:1.5 lbs less after wolfing down a half dozen ginger snaps Saturday night. Go figure. ;}
    Tracey :love: :love: :Love: the remodel. Will you come to Oregon and do mine? :laugh: Fingers X’d for Kaitlyn.
    Machka love the “our brains…” and “…music” memes, and especially the “derive pleasure from the happiness of others for things you don’t understand and would never appreciate otherwise.” Love this.
    Michelle in NV your soups (especially the Mexican corn chowder) look mouthwatering. Yes beer cheese soup does taste like beer and cheese, the stronger tasting beer used, the more so ;) I can’t help trying to respond to most posts, it’s a character flaw/trained response I’d like to outgrow.
    Ginny Fingers X’d for a second opinions with better options than “some women just have this bad luck”
    Lanette “…since Jason Momoa…” :laugh:
    Heather “…no possibility of making a future appointment” ?!? And I thought our US system was floundering. ((hugs)) Well done on creating that reel.
    Annie it is so very sad. Are there other modes of communication you could try? Hope the snow event is more beautiful than heavy.
    Lisa so excited for John and Soraya’s move nearer to you! “…chili with beans - which is not really chili. . .” you Texas gal you :laugh:
    KJ does your oven have a convection bake setting? No need for an air fryer ;)
    Rita hope you find that watch soon. Very interested in following your experience. “National peppermint patty day” Does anyone else remember Campfire Girl mints? They were the best!!!
    Michele good of you to be concerned for Jerry despite all he’s put you through. :heart: Safe travels!
    Carol SMH at that teacher commenting on your difficulties with math to other students. Some people! Have you tried Bon Ami on the stained corelle bowls?
    Beth fingers X’d for the CT scan and implant. Glad you’re expectations are realistict but I confess I’m excited for you.
    Okie Hooray for your uncle!
    Allie appointment with gastro BEFORE colonoscopy?
    Joy what a grief for their parents to watch your niece and nephew loose their hearing. Thankful for the implants’ good results.
    Rebecca OF COURSE you eldest loved the Ramen bowl plushie! You knew he would! ;} Great pics!
    Kylia “…I can get nasty if I am trying to work on important stuffs and keep getting interrupted…” ditto. Maybe even more than nasty. . . :rage:
    Margaret brava for getting back into routines. ((hugs))
    Cleaning computers, imho if you have no canned air, a sticky note folded so the sticky edge faces out can be used to pull crumbs/dust/schmutz out from between keys.
    Barbie good luck at the DDS. Breathe…
    Debbie glad you’re starting to feel better, at last!

    Tracey-Love the blue and the whole thing looks so nice. Enjoyed the pictures of Aspen and Jeb.
    Rosemarie--HUGS.
    Beth-- A lady from church has the cochlear implant and I guess I forget she has them most the time when talking with her. I guess I just know they are a part of her. Know she has good results with hers.
    Rebecca--So happy for you and this time with your boys. I hope you are taking lots of pictures.
    Not bad for a Monday. Just feeling blaaa. Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    Pip ~ Are you getting your shower regrouted? I have been using mold spray on the tiles in my shower and it's working a bit but not perfect. The tiles are white and easily get moldy.

    MFP Weekly Check-in February 12, 2024

    Rita in Roswell, NM - Water weight gain this week of 7 pounds. What happens when I don’t feel well and do nothing for a couple of days!

    Lanette in SW WA State – weight staying in goal range, waist/hip ratio continues at .76. Upping calcium sources – some are paired with protein, like dairy products, and some are plant based like collards, kale, greens. Something new to track and new recipes to search for.

    I believe he also needs the diagnosis, correct? Can you talk with his doctor about getting him tested? That might help make more resources available.

    I know all of this is overwhelming, especially as you are also dealing with the grief related to your mother's loss.

    Hugs to you.

    Did you tuck in a blanket or tuck away towels or something? Something where your arms reach in under a mattress or between towels or clothing?
