Dealing with aging parents is quite stressful especially when you don't have the help and support of other family members.
I hope you can relax at least for a time.
I am lucky that my parents are doing well considering their ages and my father's dementia. Also that they can afford the retirement community they are in now.
I really really need to catch up on my reading but I have been finding it hard to do much of anything. After my parent's house sale and their move, I had surgery.
The recovery has been a bit problematic and I will need further treatment. It should all be fine eventually but some days I struggle.
I hope everyone is doing well.
I'll have ginger ale and sit in the corner and try to read until I get sleepy enough to go to bed.
Cheers!
Good morning! Coffee's on, kettles boiling, and I picked up some goodies on the way. Muffins and donuts for all.
Got a new story in mind to write. It's a bit of a spooky one so I'll move quickly on it to get it up for Hallowe'en. Doesn't tie to any challenges, just a nice old school ghost story.
I was going to be lazy and do some reading this evening, but that didn't work out. I couldn't find something in my closet and could not put anything else away in my husband's. I got frustrated and pulled everything out of both closets. Trying to sort through everyone got annoying so I am taking a break. I'll have to deal with it tonight if I want to sleep in my bed since everything is piled on top.
I made some banana bread and am going to make some sort of fig jam later. I'll leave the banana bread on the counter.
I'll have a glass of ice tea to enjoy while I shirk my responsibilities.
Cheers!
The 31-day challenge that is Blogtober will be something I am going to attempt to do this year, as I want to take my blogging a bit more seriously, instead of posting weekly or biweekly. I also have a short story in mind that I wrote in fragments and the characters are starting to talk to me again. Time to go write and devour a box of chocolate chip cookies
I've just restocked tea, both loose and bags, and made a pot of green.
Looking like it will be a bit cool and wet this weekend here. Which is fine, I wasn't going to be outside much. Cleaning, having a visit from one of my wife's myriad aunts (her father was the eldest of eight siblings), and hopefully finishing my story. Finally got an ending on it that I am happy with, at least. It's amazing how much time one can spend wordsmithing a 2000-ish word short story. God help me if I ever do write a novel.wVf60jS6JEjIVhId
Hello, Tams and everyone else. I am writing some posts for my 31-day challenge, and so far I have 31 post ideas typed up and getting the first few scheduled out. I'm making my graphics on this rainy and stormy evening here in the Midwest. I would love to do a book review and haven't chosen which one to review. I've yet to decide if I'm going to add a video to the venture. I have graphics to make. Just keep the chocolate scones and coffee, four sugars and creams, coming
Also.. I have a new story on my page for those interested in a quick, fun read.
