WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2024

Finally posted on Facebook about mom passing yesterday.

They didn’t want me to post it because they were taking a bet to see how long it would take for Jesse to find out (the oldest brother)

Today is: I made this little Go-Gru amigurumi a while back and sent it to my grandson. I’ve made more of these but gave them away. I need to make a ‘Warmie’ one for myself and my DH! Enjoy your day!! Don’t forget to wear your red hats if you have them!!

I have found it hard to keep up with the posts the last two weeks and make comments.
I’m enjoying the practicum more this week than last, I think it’s because I know what to expect more this week.

Michele - the numbering system is each day is assigned a number and that denotes the schedule of classes that day. Last week it just happened to be that Monday was a Day 1 so it all worked out, but there was no school on Friday last week so Day 5 became this Monday. Apparently it’s used in a lot of schools now.

“Training to be a widow” - I would be fine if anything happened to Rodger, I do most everything now anyway, I take care of the finances, do all the meals, arrange for services like mechanics
Or plumbers and last year we bought a lawn mower so I could mow since that’s what he does all day at work.
I don’t like being in this position but it happened naturally when he drove truck. Then I guess it just never stopped. I would love to be taken care of in some things, but I don’t expect it to ever change, he will be in a mess if something happens to me because he refuses to learn anything. I’ve told my girls where the important stuff is.

Heather - I hope you have a wonderful visit with your Grands. It’s hard when you’re used to seeing them and then don’t for a while. I’m hoping my Grands come out on Sunday this week.
Your excitement about the earbuds can be felt in your writing.

Kylia - I have no words to help with your work situation, it is difficult being family. You would think that it would make it better but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Linda - “Bump on a log” that describes it well.

Allie - prayers and hugs for Tracy. Is the other twin doing well still?

My Mom married my Dad and left her parents house when she did. When he passed she was lost. She hadn’t done anything, unbeknownst to us she was also showing signs of Alzheimer’s and that made things much more difficult. My brother took over everything to help her. Thankfully she was open to it.

Lisa - that’s what I have to do when I go to NB. I don’t have anyone willing to come see me at my brother’s or Rodger’s mom’s except Cheryle and a young lady that babysat for me years ago. I finally gave up. I visit a couple of cousins that are older and don’t travel, but other than that I don’t bother. It’s the same with calls. I purposely haven’t called anyone for months at a time and don’t hear from anyone except Cheryle. I do call Rodger’s mom, even though I pay the phone bill for her she still doesn’t call me. I have learned to live with it but it really bothers me.
My Dad was the one that visited all of his family, none visited him either until he was sick. He was very bitter about it. I think it’s those of us who have a deep sense of family are the ones to make the effort and the others just don’t have it for some reason.

Rebecca - that’s exactly it, I chose to move away so it’s my responsibility to keep it all together. I’m over it too.

Rita - I’m really enjoying the mystery, I am not imaginative enough to add to it.

My foot is not liking the walking I’m doing at the practicum, I’m averaging 4000 steps per day, which is so much more than I’ve been doing for almost 5 years now. My weight seems to be dropping because of it so I’m hoping I can keep it up.

I have been doing some scrapbooking in the evenings this week and my screen time has dropped 43% for the last week according to my phone. I need to keep that up as well.
