It has been a difficult day here --- Himself has not been to the Day Program now in over a week-- It was the one thing that kept him relatively sane--not as angry and frustrated as he can get--so---Of course , it has been quite a morning trying to deal with him and be calm--The pot he likes to cook with, is nowhere to be found--and he is sure that I gave it away--or threw it out--I cannot find it either-- and I used to cook applesauce in it--Of course it eventually will turn up---but-- Himself believes that the world is going to end without that pot--Odd what upsets him--I have tried to get one of the boys to get him out --take him to town--anything to distract him- but--that is not happening-- They all have their own lives--To-morrow we shall buy a new pot--- LOLOL-
There are days that one would like to not have to deal with all this--even for an hour or so--but- hopefully -----Himself will be better after a rest----and---- just chatting with you all does lift some of life's sadness---now I used to be able to chat away to the Queen, who was probably going thru the same stuff with Phillip----
We have sunshine--cold temperatures--but--NO SNOW --wonderful-- There is always something good, isn't there?--
"COMFORT ON DIFFICULT DAYS" sounds pretty good to me!
Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. Happy New Year to you. Isn't it strange how things can just go missing! That happens here all the time. I surely understand the frustration. Usually it's because someone other than me (often my husband but maybe one of my kids) has put things away trying to help me. Just the other day I couldn't find the small frying pan that I use almost every day. Sure enough, it was with the OTHER frying pans! I hope your pot turns up! We stayed up long enough to watch the ball drop in New York - but I couldn't get to sleep so I got up right at midnight and heard all the fireworks going off. I'm happy to say goodbye to 2023 - hopefully 2024 will be a better year for both of us. Keep your chin up - my mother would say! You are a strong woman and encouragement for all of us!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and Himself and all the best in 2024. I was in bed by 10 and didn't see the ball fall. Looking back I remember the days when I would get all dressed up and go dancing on New Year's Eve. Those are just memories now of happy times years ago. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and Happy New Year!
DeleteThe pot might be in the garage? Depending on whether Himself put the dishes up?? lol just a thought.
I stayed up, but did not turn the tv on to watch the ball drop,
but I knew when midnight hit on the East Coast because my
sweet grandson in Massachusetts texted me...
The oddest thing this morning - I have a plaque that I put in
the window, has been there since back in April and this morning I was laying in bed and something fell and the plaque had fallen out of the window. Is in about 8 pieces and
I will try to fix it with super glue, because it was David's.
There is no way it could have just fallen........got any ideas??
Sorry about the lost pot. And sorry that the boys cannot help taking DH out. *SIGH*
DeleteLove your last meme..
HUGS to you

Lynda, soon the day program will start again, you will have a hair day and the pot will turn up or be relaced.
ReplyDeleteIt could always be worse...there could be several feet of snow. We didn't get any more last night, either. Quite cold, though: 23F with a light wind.
Our meal yesterday was a bust. I was told 4 PM. It was actually 3 PM. I got down there with my salad. There was only 2 people there. The entree was gone. The only donations still there were 2 may filled salads and a tray of cookies that our maintenance man's wife baked for us. Oh, well. I came home and make a tuna sandwich.
Just trying to get the minimum done around here is a painful chore. I have a friend taking my garbage out for me.
In an hour or so I will cuddle with Lucky for a nap. "they" say that's how you heal, but I believe there must be a balance. I do not just want to lay around. May try a few therapy exercises today, too.
No mention of pets, so I assume (there's that word again) that they are fine and have done their business where they should. Did you decide on a tree for Sushi yet? Do know that when you assemble them, you can leave off the bottom 'shelf' so Lopez can't climb it.
Good luck with it. Have a wonderful day...filled with love. Hope you get some stress relief today.
I am about finished with our book. Sadly, I can guess how it ends. Very worthwhile read anyway.
{{{HUGS}}}
So sorry the routine has been lost due to the holidays. Sending hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda: Sorry himself is starting off the new year bad. Hope the day program starts soon again. I have a friend whose husband has dementia and when he was still at home he put the bathroom towels in the toilet and in the garbage. The pot may be in a strange place! I only stayed up til midnight because there were fireworks going off early in the evening so I figured I'd stay up because Toronto was having a big display and as you know dogs hate them. Happy New Year again. Have a good night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteWishing you a better tomorrow for sure! Who knows where he put that pot, he was helping the other day! To the gal named Darlene, sure as dhootin‘, that was David‘s way of wishing you Happy New Year and Love!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Ralph Waldo Emerson insert.
ReplyDeleteHope your day improves.
Likely, the pot will turn up. I find stuff in weird places when hubs helps, including groceries.
Play your piano as it soothes man and beast.
We were asleep at 10. Fireworks woke me up at midnight.
Hugs and Blessings
I hope that 2024 is a much better year than we've had recently.
ReplyDeleteSo, with that, I'll wish you a Happy New Year!!!
