It's not been easy taking care of my mother in law, but we are getting by. The ups and downs are hard. So are managing things that keep her active and happy. If you've ever taken care of someone with dementia, you know how hard it is getting them to do things. When they get [...]
What a difference a week makes. My mother in law is now living in our old house. It's a bit stressful because we realized she has stage three dementia. While that's classified as early dementia, it's still stressful as we have to provide help. She is already prone to outbursts, so it will be hard [...]
My birthday is rolling around again and I wanted to make myself something special. I don't want to just celebrate my birthday, but I want to celebrate my win. I am finally losing weight for the first time since 2016. The menopause process has taken a lot out of me and now that it's almost [...]
I should be home for the next couple of months. I'm glad to be done with travelling for a while. It takes a lot out of me. This last conference was memorable for all the wrong reasons. The sessions were good, but there were some things that were not good from the perspective of the [...]

I think I've made it through the jet lag. It took me about a week. I won't be doing any travelling for a few months. I am glad for that. I love to travel, but I didn't like how the vacation went. Travel woes happen. I have had many trips that didn't go as planned. [...]
This week has been busy. Tony has been working extra hours at our old house to get it ready. We were hoping to sell it, but his Mom may be moving there instead. It's up in the air right now. We're not sure what's going to happen. We have to be ready for any possibility. [...]
