That’s a good idea! Wish I had thought of that! LOL!
I went to see Lablady today, and she liked my hair. I told her I didn’t particularly, but since the arthritis in my shoulders, elbows and wrists is getting so bad, I have to keep it short.
They went to a concert Saturday night, then she cleaned house on Sunday, and she has been out from work the last two days. I told her a few things about CFIDS, and told her also that her situation is similar, so she may as well listen to me. I’m a mother with Time In Grade!
She was worried about being able to make the trip to Europe in the summer, and I told her that oddly enough, she will most likely be fine, as her focus will be outward, rather than on herself and her functionality problems. I told her it is when she comes home that she will suffer.
She is also going to get a maid to come in once a week, which I think is a great idea. It will take a lot of stress off her.
And I need to write her a little “how-to” manual to help her deal with what she is facing.
I “knew” this was coming almost two years ago. But she wasn’t talking to me, then.
I can envision having to go through this when I start showing symptoms of Alzheimers’ Disease. When that happens, I’ll probably be grateful that Frank is so excessively attached to me!
I’m really annoyed with Bill and Tom, because they both know the car blocking the trash truck has been a problem in the past. However, since I didn’t tell them this time - “You put the cans over there. You put the car over here.” - they just didn’t think about it.
What it comes down to, is I’m the only one who cares whether the trash gets picked up or not, so “I’m responsible” for making sure it happens, and if other people screw up, “It’s my fault” for not reminding them yet again.
