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.
Holiday? How in the word can one get a Holiday???? waaaahhhhhhhhhhh
My Holiday is my blow-up pool
My whine......... came home to chaos just chaos she was sitting in the room watching tv telling me she had cleaned the whole house while i was out "having fun" I spent 2hours having lunch with friend then 5 hours waiting for HER perscription!! then home to well looked like burgalry thats the only way to describe it? couldnt find garbage bin? well silly me its at the end of the garden???? oh my god please give me the patience i need to deal with this i didnt clean up i went and had a bath and cried!
Im not getting up tom i dont want to get up until the cleaning lady arrives on friday!! I am going on holidays in 3wks and wonder if ill make it.
Gosh front room with her clothes EVERYWHERE? she was sorting them out AGAIN.
Deep breaths and big brown paper bag OR crystal meth oh how i wish i had just stayed in resto and got very very drunk!
Oh--I'll gripe about how I then had to drive 1/2 hour each way to pick up 80 lbs of gravel to redo her front walk area, and then lay it all down myself in 100 degree heat, because I guess her gardeners won't do that. Why wouldn't they do that sort of thing when they work in a community full of frail, elderly people?
Talking is miss mash without dentures and hearing is the same without hearing aides here! This combination happened this AM. After the second 'what did you say', the reply came out a shout and still incomprehensible.
Being early in the morning, I just turned around and left the room. I did not want our dog to go and hide again during an argument.. LOL
Apparently it was not important. We did not speak during his breakfast - not unusual. All he can talk about is his 'condition' and what we can do about it. There are only so many words to express, 'Not much...'
So, I come here and whine while comforting the dog, etc. We both talk more to our lovable dog than we do to each other these days.
We do whatever works for us in any situation and we are exonerated by all here - right? That's why we come, along with the blessings and good wishes...
I don't know how to respond to that. She can be soo hateful .
I hate the hour drive in Chicago traffic up 94 and across 290 to get to the Jesse Brown VA facility. Every time I make that trip, including today, I just feel worn out by the end of it all.
Kaz.... I agree, this is getting scary. She's been on a roll all evening....ranting/raving, talking about bashing people's heads in. I don't think I shall sleep well tonight.
Actually I think Mercury's been busy sorting out my internet connection - it's still not great but at least it hasn't made me cry for a whole week.
Thanks for your angelic expression, assandache (interesting is there an explanation besides the almost obvious one..?)
Is this a good place to post a funny paragraph? This really made me laugh this AM - from our DIL:
Nine thoughts to Ponder...
Number 9-
Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Number 8-
Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 7-
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 6-
Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
Number 5-
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number 4-
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
Number 3-
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 2-
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1-
Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn your a** tomorrow.
...and as someone recently said to me:
Don't worry about old age; it doesn't last that long.
Have fun out there...
