Good afternoon everyone! Ginger, WE love you and your work loves you so we hope you know you are a worthwhile person!! Dee, you have been so good to Rosemarie! Glad she didn't have a stroke! Carol, sometimes being alone is better! I've enjoyed my lone time while Chuck is gone. Dee, my sister-in-law made them! The purple material is from a tee shirt. The other material, she bought. I think they turned out adorable! Wizzard is spelled wrong n purpose. The back is a cape (made from the back of the tee shirt) she is wearing that shows the the Phoenix skyline and the autographs of the Suns players.   |

Lisa, luckily most eventually learn some empathy, but sadly I think some never do.
Dee, I'm really glad Rosemarie didn't have a stroke, and hope the change in medication for her vertigo will be just the thing.
Can you list your house for sale before the year is up since Ward died, or do you have to wait until after that to start the process?
Carol, I'll bet most kids have done things at times that their parents wished they had made different decisions. I love that your family is so close and there for each other. I think of my cousin who turned her back on her parents when they really needed her help. That was when I stepped in to help my uncle (and aunt) in his end stages of leukemia. Your family is there to support each other.
Lisa, those are so cute! Another fun way to save old t-shirts. How clever.
I ended up back over at my parents today. They bought a new washer last weekend and because of one problem or another had not had it installed yet. The latest was that the delivery guys would not take the pedestal drawer off the bottom - we had to do that - of the old washer. Mom wanted to keep the drawer. So I went over to help with that. I had suggested we do it the other day, but mom and dad kept saying we couldn't. Got there, I talked with dad and asked if he would let mom and I try to tip the washer without his help. His balance is so bad and I was afraid he would fall in this process. He said no he had to help, and mom kept saying it was going to be too heavy and we can't. So while they argued about it I tipped it over and put it on it's back. hehe. Got the pedestal drawer off the bottom and tipped it back up and pushed it on down the hall so it would be out of the way when the delivery people came to hook up the new washer. Mom was going to be stubborn and return the washer since it had taken so long, but talked her into calling them and telling them the pedestal was off and everything was ready. So about 30 minutes later a guy showed up to hook it up and haul off the old one. I even talked him into hooking the dryer vent back up for us - something we were going to do after he left.
Then while I was there I had brought walkie talkies and we got better labels on the fuse box. Some parts of their house you can't get cell service. We got the rooms we are changing other lights figured out on the fuse box and I got two lights changed today. Wish I could have done more, but my shoulders reminded me I am not used to working over head. Since the last time I had talked to them they had come up with one more light to change. I have to wonder if eventually we will change them all. I think they are over the old fluorescent lights, and I can't blame them. Anyway, three lights are now changed and three more to go.
I'm pooped. And I'm half hoping for a rainy day tomorrow so I can just curl up with pets and a book and be lazy.

Good morning everyone Happy Rainy Sunday
Laura I don't blame you for being pooped all that you did. Smart of you to tip the washer on the side while your parents were arguing and got it done without dad's help and nice of the delivery man to hook up the dryer vent for you. You will be rewarded for helping your aunt and uncle when their children would not. Yes I can sell my house before the year of Ward's death I contacted my elder lawyer who I saw before Ward went to nursing home he said Medicaid can't come after you while living but when you die they will go to your estate to get their money back for what they put into Wards care. My sister called me she is coming Monday, July 19 to work on the house. Lisa my daughter in law gave me the number for the real estate attorney her company has for their employees with case number I need to give them when I call and be sure to ask if any fees involved. I was going to call Friday but with all that was going on with Rosemarie I will call them on Monday if it saves me the 6 percent commission for realtor I am for it. I don't know how it works selling my house but will ask them. I will call on Friday to see how much I can prequalify for a loan to determine if buying a house or mobile home.
Lisa I love that witch and dragon made from a tee shirt your sister in law made so cute/
Ginger you can't let how other people treat you get you down you are an awesome person and need to mingle with people who build you up not tear you down or make you feel so inferior.
Carol love that you made it through tears, laughter problems in the growing years as you had God helping you through and your family is a close knit one.
Rosemarie doctor released her from hospital at 3 yesterday he asked how she was doing any more dizziness she said episodes but clears up quickly doesn't hang on. She asked for a prescription for the valium but he told her and I put it in writing in the chat to Di and Bill so they were aware of it that he will only give her a few he does not want her grabbing it first she is to use her regular medicine for the dizziness if it doesn't help in a day or two then take the valium. I told her when she sees her doctor who prescribed her dizziness medication in August to see if he could up her dosage of the medicine she is taking that way she won't have to take an additional pill valium. She takes so many pills now it is not funny. Well the nurse came in the room at 4 to do the release papers and have Rosemarie sign for them to bill insurance company they said Medicare won't pay outpatient but her Medicaid will. So by the time the person came with the wheelchair it was 4:30 so went to Walgreens to get her prescriptions they said about 25 minutes so we waited in car when time drove through drive through to get it and in the meantime Bill asked if we could pick up his prescription that was ready if they would give it to us. So I showed the person the text Bill giving us permission to pick it up and he gave it to us and Rosemarie paid and Bill will pay her when she gets home. I dropped her off at home at 6 pm did not go in but told Bill she does still lose her balance she went to the bathroom at hospital when washing her hands almost fell to keep an eye on her. I did not go in I went home to feed my girls and let them outside. They were so glad to see me was gone since 11:30 when I left to go to hospital. I have no idea what time Di got in Rosemarie mentioned when I came out of Walgreens taking in the prescription that she spoke to Di and their plane hasn't arrived yet at where they stopped over she thinks her layover was in New Jersey. I said if New Jersey having a rain storm they won't take off till it is over. Will see later if they call me after their church to come and play games. Later today Jerry and Lisa will be picking up Chloe
Hugs Dee, Tori & Dallas && Chloe

Dee, that was good news to learn you don't have to wait until after that one year mark to put your house on the market. And nice to hear your sister will be here the 19th. I hope the two of you can get a lot done while she is there. I hope you will get good news when you find out how much house you can afford.
Sounds like it was a long day at the hospital yesterday. I always find that wears me out even though I'm not doing anything but sitting around. With any lucky Di will be tired from traveling yesterday and they will be happy for a day off and you all get to rest and relax.
Carol, my parents have always been there for me, and have helped here and there over the years. I hate that they need the help now, but I'm glad to have an opportunity to pay them back some.
No rain here yet, but I'm looking forward to an excuse to sit and read a book this afternoon. Wouldn't take much for me to take a nap today.

Rosemarie posted on my timeline she felt better would call after church to play games I replied back to not coming my back hurts from that chair I sat in at hospital that was at 7:30 am. Well at 12 I am woke up with doorbell ringing and dogs going wild. it was Di saying I need to have my phone on she tried calling several times went to voice mail. I said it is on don’t know why it went to voice mail in my charger and I just woke up. She said though her mom said she is better today she isn’t understanding Di when she tells her something. She said last night she was having double vision. Anyway she wanted to know when I was selling.I said as soon as my sister comes the 19 and helps me get the house ready so buyers can get settled before school starts. She said I thought you were selling in October I said I checked with Elder lawyer he said I did not need to wait a year I can move anytime. She said she needs a life last two days of drama so her Aunt Pat and her planned a cruise in October figuring I was here now she has to hire someone to come in and watch both of them then left to go home starting to rain.
when visitedRosemarie on Friday I was in a comfortable chair but visited her yesterday she was out of bed sitting up in comfortable chair leaving me to sit in hard chair. Di also complained blood wasn’t cleaned upon floor by toilet and shower I said I cleaned the blood out of shower didn’t think to check floor,

Good afternoon everyone!I
Well, we had quite a storm last night! Tore down chucks canopy over his front porch area. Also the cover over where l park. Lost internet last night but today is sunny, hot and humid.
Laura l remember when you did all that for your uncle but your cousin didn't! Glad you were there for your aunt and uncle. Funny how you tricked your parents!
Dee, too bad she only has one comfortable chair! Can you visit in the living room?
Carol, thank you! I need to mend the Dragon where the tee has a little hole. Embroidery maybe.

Geez, Dee, those friends don’t seem very grateful for the help you gave them. Good luck finding a new friend who will do all you have done for them. Carol, I love that picture of Pooks! That is one happy-looking pup. So many of you made me feel much better when you posted how you prefer to be alone. I have been going through something like that recently, and the words sound rude when they’re in my head. I guess some of us do feel more comfortable by ourselves, though. Laura, I feel the same way about my folks. I am  in a way that they need more help, but I am happy for the opportunity to give back. |

Good morning everyone Happy Monday.
Leslie did you make bears for people with the tee shirts? do you have a picture I know you offered to do one for Ward. Yeah Di expected me to clean the floor and I did not even think of the floor and her comment about how she planned a cruise with her aunt thinking I would be there to watch her mom and Bill and now she has to hire someone as she intends to go on the cruise.
Lisa it was the hospital room that had 2 chairs one comfortable that I sat in on Friday and the hard one that I sat in from 12 to 4:30 waiting for her to be discharge. Rosemarie was up sitting in the comfortable chair with a blanket on her and when she complained the sun was giving her a headache I told her she could always go back to bed be away from the sun but in reality the sun was not even shining as we had rain. But she said no was staying sitting up in the chair hoping to go home. Her house when we play games are on hard chairs so I just stayed home and slept till Di came and woke me up My phone went to voice mail so she figured I had it turned off and was not answering her text. I said I was asleep the phone was on and loud don't know why it went to voice mail My phone doing wacky things and then the notification Wi-Fi Calling Updated constantly keeps coming up I read to how to keep it silent but it still pops up. Sometimes when I try to call out it tells me network not available unable to send call I use consumer cellular which uses A T T
Laura hoping your migraine is better
Rosemarie posted on my timeline already that she is doing better for me to come as soon as I can as when she called me last night she told me she slept most of the day and wanted me to come at 9 but I told her I had to do something first may be a little later than 9. If the real estate lawyer opens at 8 I will call him at 8:30 see what he has to say if not I will call him when he opens. Then I will call Rosemarie before I come to make sure though she claims to be better Di said when you talk to her she doesn't understand what you are saying like in a cloud.
Hugs Dee, Dallas & Tori

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks. The problem is that the people in my life who are so toxic are my parents & it's some of my co-workers. I can't escape my family members & I am not going to try to get another job. I love what I do & where I am. Nothing is open that I could or would consider anyway. My parents have serious mental problems. My dad has Parkinson's Dementia & he has had a stroke. His mother was a psycho, so there you go. My mom has always been a piece of work. They both embarrass the sh*t out of me sometimes. My mom rarely has anything nice to say, period. Complain, complain, complain, yell, yell, yell. She's a nut. Both of my parents are crazy & are getting crazier. They no longer even try to really hide what kind of people they are. Everyone knows they are crazy. There's no telling what some people think of me. They probably paint me with the same brush just for being related to them. My mom & Aunt hate each others guts & always put me in the middle of all their fights.
As for co-workers, some of them don't even try to do right. I have to step in to do things I shouldn't because they can't be depended on. Most people come to me for everything because I am the only one they trust. Everyone thinks I know everything, but even I need help sometimes. People don't realize everything they put on me. Trying to balance my career, crazy family, my health problems, managing a household alone....it's enough to make me go a little crazy sometimes. I worry about the future. I can't help it. If I need help one day, who is going to help me? I am not married, no children, only child so no siblings, nothing. I don't have very many friends. Nobody ever comes over unless they want something from me usually. People don't seem to realize that I need help sometimes too. That's one reason why I just want to be alone alot. One day I will need help though. I have no idea where to go to get it. I just hope that God has some kind of plan in store for me that He hasn't made me aware of yet. I have to try to trust in God to help me.

I think most of us are introverts. Not is the usual sense, but in the Myers-Briggs sense, where we get our energy from being alone. I like to be with others sometimes, but I need to be alone to recharge, if that makes sense.
Dee, Di should have THANKED you for cleaning up what you did! It was NOT your responsibility! I just can't believe those people!
Ginger, I am so sorry. I wish there were something I could do to help, but I don't know what it would be! I have no children, either, but I think my niece would take me in, if it came to that.
Carol, I wish more people had empathy for others. I just don't get it!

Ginger, I am in a very similar situation yours. If I live to be much older, I don’t know if there is anyone who might help me. I am in worse financial shape than you, so I am also looking forward to the challenges of living outside. I hope God has a kind plan for both of us.
Carol, I have to agree with you! Being alone can be good for us sometimes.
Lisa, some of my best re-charging time is spent either walking or in the garden by myself. Quiet time is good time.
Dee, how did things go with the realtor? Did he have good news?
