Wtg everyone! I’m giving everyone permission to rest for the day, mainly because I don’t want to do anything lol. Dh is home from the doc and napping which makes me want to do nothing but I wasn’t up at 3am and going to work for half a day and then driving an hour in the other direction for an appointment. Still want to though … :mrgreen: :P ;)

Done:
Pets fed and watered
Litter scooped
Floors spot cleaned
Ate and logged it
Load and run dw, unloaded
Sink shined
Hand washed and put away hummingbird feeder, tossed broken one
Strip dh’s chair of cover and throws and wash, dry
Strip one section of couch and wash
Pick up toys from floor, mostly Beau’s balls, some catnip toys
Dust, wipe down counters
Crush cans and put in recycling
Lunch ate and logged
Replaced lightbulbs on porch
Clean spots under chair 😾 🤮
Meds given for dogs and Daisy cat - noticed that Thumper picked out all the simparico pieces and spit them out, eating only the can food so will deal with that later
Trash out
Called insurance co and left message
Couch pillows airing out outside
Planner updated from past few days
Packages opened and dealt with
Dh brought fried chicken for supper so picked out veggies to cook with it for supper
Chugging water belatedly now I feel behind since I started so late
Bathrooms swiped


Continuing on…maaaaybeeee 🥱
♥ Wake each day expecting good things to happen! ♥

Waving the wand of permission in Bama's direction You may set down your burden and rest.

My current contribution is to sit and eat a serving of french fries...

Hmmm. Fries. You're making me hungry and I am not supposed to be hungry. I don't know what is happening. Either this stuff is that much easier than the other method or it just isn't being effective. I expected to feel way worse but I think it was that other solution that caused it. 🤔 i hope it's not tmi. This is when I wish I could ask mom. I hope it is working.

I've been resting. Playing piano some. Gently folding laundry. And scrolling useless stuff. Deciding what the boys want for supper. I want supper too...

Go, Peaches!

Laundry is all hung and the bread is in its container. I'm going to take a break before I tackle dishes.

I think that is the last load of laundry that I will do before I retire. My upcoming shift is one of those with a 1-day weekend. I have followed the good advice I got here and moved my dental appointment up so that I can charge it to my benefits. I'll use a sick day to go. My employer always takes a full sick day from us even if we are only off for a couple of hours, so of course employees take all day to go to the dentist.

For the rest of the time, I'll keep putting in for VTO (Voluntary Time Off). Most days they don't give it, but if the phones are quiet enough that they don't want to pay everybody, they will let some who applied for VTO leave early.

Laura, my fav clear liquid has been white grape juice. Sending you encouraging vibes. That older method of the big jug was a horrible prep. This is better, and it works too. Some change is good :)

Bama, again, some changes are good! AC, indoor toilet, running water with faucets inside!

3 hours ago my mother called me to tell me what a wonderful day she had. There was a tea party, someone came to her room with treats, fruit, and a beautiful tea cup. We had a nice chat.
Then half an hour ago, she called to yell at me, scold me for not coming to take her home. Then she was going to call her brother, he is the only one with any sense. And she is not getting into her bed because I slept in it. Just total delirium, confusion. No, I don't take it personally. It just reinforces that I cannot manage her at home!

Oh, Gma, what a way to end the day! At least you know that she actually had a nice day, even if she's forgotten.

I have emptied the dw to the drying racks, and now I can head to bed. Good night!

(I had to stop there and call the NH. Her brother died >10 years ago, but that's not something you say to someone in delirium) Now I'm heading to bed, in case I get called during the night.
