I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Nacy and Way, the cold and dark can definitely make troubles more troubling and you both have had more than your share. I want you to know that your sharing them has helped me understand things I didn’t before. It’s a layer of understanding I need and I appreciate.
The sun is shining after several days of fog! The frost is so sparkly I can almost not see the maple and oak leaves I neglected to rake off the lawn. Sunshine coming through the East windows makes everything feel more possible today.
Wonderful news about your new doctor possibilities! That is definitely reason to rejoice. Selfish beast that I am, I want you healthy for as long as possible so I can benefit from your wisdom and interesting life! You are a special lady.
Glad what I whine about helps , although your situation is different with caregiving for a spouse .
Your posts are very helpful as well , as the thought of needing to care for my spouse someday has crossed my mind , even though we are the same age . I’m trying to build up some reserve to be ready if needed.
Have decided to treat myself to wine this Christmas and try to keep my mind off my whines for a few days , baking and cooking .
But then I dread that feeling that will come back after the holidays are over .
Will be back to forever angsting , waiting for the other shoe to drop . It’s a waiting room I let myself get in too often since my parents got old . Even though they have been passed away awhile , I still can wander into that waiting room over many things . It’s like a flip switched permanently .
