HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I just walked through the door, back from dog-sitting for friends in Indianapolis. Except for cuddling the dogs, it was an awful time in every possible way. I don't think I'm going to do it again. Probably won't be asked. My friend and I had a bad argument on the way home. I will do you all a favor and not detail my 5 days for you.
No wildlife stories from me this week, except that there were also raccoons in the attic there.
I will now read and catch up with all your news. Everyone have a good week. Love and hugs to all.
aquilareen Bless you.
Life can be so cruel,
as Annette says your long term caring, is taking it's toll.Yet again, it is you, who has to adapt, as OH is still being cared for, and no longer able to participate.you are still having to plan.
Sadly for you it is an early form of grief, as your long term partner and friend, is no longer beside you daily.You are bearing the burden, of not only concern for his continuing care, but also your home,family and your own health..
Enjoy your Books, a wonderful therapy.Relieving our minds of our domesticity. Doh!!
BIG Hugs and Prayers
ANNETTE, PAT, KATE – Thank you. Your wise words much appreciated.
Evening here and I am about to snooze through another TV program! Then wake for a few more pages of my book.
All awake at various times in the night – sometimes all together! So we delayed the alarm clocks this morning – I woke up feeling worse. Weather today a bit dull but still rather hot. Supposed to be our W Anniversary today – nothing happening. Had a card from Dau#2 – came over a week ago – other one is on holiday in Suffolk this week. GDs are still in Paris.
AQ – I too hope that nursing home has a garden for your OH to sit out as that is what he has been used to. I hope they will soon find a place for him.
I am supposed to be catching up on letter-writing today, but really don’t feel I want to be bothered – need to confirm Dau#2 arrangements to call in here in two weeks on the way somewhere else. Maybe when that one is done I shall feel more like more pleasant correspondence!
OG EE Happy Anniversary to you both and hoe your crow is fine.
Happy Anniversary OG and EE .
Happy Anniversary OG and EE. Hope you get all your correspondence done easily OG.
I have had a very pleasant day. One of the members of my Flora and Fauna group invited us bring a picnic and to go to her house which is in the countryside. It has a beautiful garden. It was such a pleasant sociable occasion and we strolled round the garden and admired the veg patch and greenhouse. The chairs were all arranged under a big apple tree so we had lots of shade to sit in.
How lovely RUSTY
It is indeed lovely, RUSTY. I'm glad that you enjoyed it -
The world is all upside down, horrible things and awful people everywhere. I imagine that my friends on here are experiencing the same thoughts and feelings.... I was lying awake last night pondering about this that and the other and just want to say how much I appreciate this group - somewhere that we can come and just share our everyday life stuff .
