The Good Day All Thread

Have you mobilized your man?
It sounds like you ould use bit of help there. Well, I know that e can't help you physically, but we can let you know that we are and will listen if you just want to air your thoughts.

Hang in there kiddo and good luck with arranging thosedetails for your mom.

Remember, we're here forya.

 

Dear Netty, I can only say, "And this too shall pass."
Is it possible to have a Caregiver come in for your dad?
I worked as a Caregiver for several years. Those oldtimers
were always against having someone until the first day.
LOL Maybe you need the Caregiver more than Dad does.

 

To all of you who celebrate the day, Happy Thanksgiving! Ours will be quiet and (hopefully) delicious, just the way we like it.
The cats are thankful for the bits of turkey coming their way, the hens are thankful they are not turkeys, and we are thankful for far too many things to mention.

 

It wouldn't matter if we ate bean soup, just being together.
Blessed Thanksgiving to one and all.

 

Go Sunday morning all. Currently -1°C and sunny.
Woke up in my own bed today, but I'm heading back down to Dads today.
Hoping to come up with some kind of resolution in the next couple of days.
I had a lovely walk this morning with Sargent, the sun is shining and it makes all the difference!
Have a great day all

 

Great that you could re-charge and sleep in your own bed. Here’s wishing you good luck in find solutions. Wish we could help.

 

It is cold out there--36 degrees with wind. The hens were fluffed out this morning, but their coops are out of the wind, so they are doing fine. I have a new recipe to try today, black bean/turkey chili. A few Christmas decorations will go up in the house. We did the fence swags yesterday and hung the door wreath. We're festive!
Hope you all have a good day, and are warmer than we are.

 

We are decorating today. It will be modest but festive.
It is three degs above freezing here with wind and rain.

 

Low 30s and snow falling. I'm hoping it will stop soon.
I plan to buy a wreath for the door and put out a few
old things.

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently -3°c and snowing. It has snowed all night and now it's starting to pile up.
DD has been nagging me to put up some Christmas decorations, so maybe today is the day. It might help put me in the festive mood, and get inspired for Christmas shopping.
The snow has inspired Hubby to finally put on my snow tires, so something good came out of it haha
Have a great day all

 

Today is overcast with sprinkles of rain, so we are basically confined indoors. Not bad, since we have been doing small outdoor tasks all week. Since it is a dark and gloomy day, we have the candles lit in the windows to hopefully cheer passersby.
Hot soup for lunch, watching A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim (the original Carol and in black and white) this afternoon, and then a simple but filling dinner.
We'll probably put on the heat lamps for the hens tonight, and the cats have a soft and comfy bed in their shelter. No worries about the pets!

 

Marlin, sometimes that type of day serves as a blessing.

 

When some things don't go to plan I always remember this advice.

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently -4°C and overcast. I had a lovely walk with the dog this morning and now I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and catching up here.
I am such a woman of routine, and my routine has been a thing of the past lately.
We finally got Mom home and she has 3 PSW visits a day. She is now bedridden (palliative) and sleeps most of the day. My sister or I have still had to be there every minute of every day to take care of Dad and Covid has made it even harder to get Dad into long term care. Saying we are frustrated is an understatement! We both live out of town and have families, jobs, lives and we are burned out and angry. Hopefully the system comes through for us and we get some much needed relief soon. This is the beginning of week 5.
I'll be puttering around the house for a while and then heading back to the city for my 'shift'
Have a great day all

 

Soon I hope. Meantime, cherish each hour you have with them.
