Still struggling with exhaustion. Was so tired at dinner last night that I barely made it through the meal. I head back to neurology today for a follow-up on my in home sleep study. Probably a wasted appointment as I've already read the report that basically just rules out sleep apnea. Hopefully there will be a "next step"…

OK, funny story. Embarrassing story, but I'll never have to face any of you so I will share. Facts: my daughter is home from college, my dog is still just a puppy though he is rather large (85lb), and my husband is quite amorous even after 30 years together. Scenario: Hubby and I are out visiting parents and stop at…

Last interview was this morning. It went well. I should know within the next week or two whether or not I get the job. The other job I didn't get was a long shot. This one is actually in my wheel house. Weekend seemed almost nonexistent. To be fair I slept through most of Saturday, which through me off. Sunday I did some…

Shot pool in a tournament Friday evening. Played well, not well enough to win, but better than I have in the past. It is a late night though it goes from about 9:00pm to after midnight. Saturday: Soooo taking mom to the senior center for the carnival was a total bust. She went but she was rude and bitter. We left after…

interview went well, it was long, but the people were really nice. Unfortunately, I just realized I forgot I was supposed to teach spin tonight. I totally let a friend down. I feel awful. Also got my initial sleep study back. I do not have sleep apnea, but I’ll need to do more testing.

@HappyDonkey75 I have 2 more interviews for the job. One is Monday from 9:00am to 1:00pm at the plant site, the other is the following Monday from 9:00 - 10:00 virtually. I think I would really like the work there, but not sure they can afford me. After they interviewed me the 1st 2 times, they reposted the job with an…

@angf0679 what VBS are you doing? Our church did True North this year. Hubby and I built a large rustic dog house for the pre school kids to play in. I used to run VBS, but it was soooo time intensive. We just tend to build "sets" these days. I'm artsy so it's more fun, less stress. @HappyDonkey75 Great job on the…

Weight loss was minimal in June, but it has been steady. Just so much going on. Stuff with mom is still crazy, but she isn't letting us help her in the way she needs. I understand going to assisted living is rarely somebody's first choice, but in this case it truly is the best option. I'm setting up a neuropsychological…

Was very productive at work this morning. So much so I missed my window for lunch. I do have a cup of applesauce in my fridge, but that may simply make me hungrier. I'm feeling good about the productivity, but dreading a slow afternoon of meetings. Was kind of hoping to sneak away for a bike ride this evening, but the rain…

@cschmitz110515 glad to see you back! You've been mighty busy lately, but I know you'll get back on track. The assisted living place that I want mom to go to has an opening August 1. So I asked my aunt to come in Sunday to help me talk to her about going. It was really good having her there, not only for her help but also…

It's been a minute… Weight is mostly holding steady, but it definitely isn't because I'm taking care of myself. Good News: 2 more interviews for the job. One from 9am-1pm then a virtual one a week later from 9pm to 10pm. My guess is that it is an international call based on the time. I need to study up on the quality…

Been kind of quiet, but I've been lurking. Took mom to see one of the assisted living homes yesterday, that did not go well. It did go better than I thought, but I didn't think she'd go. I have one more place to show her. It is not as nice and hopefully she'll see that I'm trying to give her the best chance to enjoy life…

Sorry y'all. Stress levels have been over the top lately. Eating is sporadic but unhealthy, and exercise consists mainly of pacing. Weight was the same this week as last,, which is a miracle! Trying to get my mom set up in assisted living. Can't find a decent place that will allow both pets and smoking. Looking at another…

I’m not good with sickness or deathbed visits. I’m awkward and nervous and I seep tears. Just not a good combo. I don’t judge anyone for how they grieve or how they find peace.

I too wish I knew the secret. I called my mom out when she criticized the kids when they were young, but it did stop her from playing favorites and hurting the younger ones feeling. My older daughter was the golden child and even she took exception to how grandma spoke to both V and I. Now V will only go over if I go with…
