My mom said the same thing and maybe that's it. IDK. It was just weird because not just during the funeral service itself, which I can kind of get, but at the visiting hours too. I feel like at some point you'd maybe just excuse yourself and realize you need to step away but 🤷‍♀️
We also talked about possibly having exercise induced asthma. They prescribed an inhaler and if it works she has it and if it doesn't, she doesn't. This cracked me up.
Well, that’s fascinating. Apparently I have exercise induced asthma then! That would have been really nice to know as a kid when I couldn’t breathe during gym class.
Yeah, I thought it was a pretty interesting way to go about it.
She has pe on Thursday, so we will see if it helps!
Back in December when my car was in the shop for the majority of 3 weeks every.time.I.called the guy would say "I was just going to call you." Sure Jan.
I called again and got ahold of the service guy, and he had the audacity to sound irritated with me because like he said, "it was going to take until EOD" and then he got all surprised and apologetic when I was like, yeah, but I dropped the car off YESTERDAY MORNING and you told me it would be done by end of day YESTERDAY. He said he was going to call down and yell at his tech and "call me right back." That was almost 20 minutes ago.
So exasperating! I hope you got your car back today!

I agree with this. Losing my mom was so hard on me. When I go to funerals or hear the death of anyone it’s hard for me to not take it personal. Also maybe she is morning what she doesn’t know? I can only assume this is your half brother’s dad?

I'm so sorry chilerellanos . That sucks. That happened to H and me back in 2015. They asked if we wanted to buy and when we said no they immediately started showings. When we got the call we were getting over a stomach bug so it was a super shitty week.

We’ve been here since May of 2021. I was gonna sign for another year in October (our lease is up then), to get me through my youngest going off to college, and then either downsize or figure out what me and my bf are doing.
My house cleaner is moving to TX to help care for ailing family. I'm sad both for her family situation and myself.
Our first house cleaner (that we had only used for about 9 mos) left to go to Harvard when my son was 6 mos old. I cried. We have never had anyone as good as she was.
So I cleared out a ton of trash out of her apartment. My mom keeps EVERYTHING! Every bank statement, check stub, every card she got for birthdays Xmas, etc. everything but it’s all in bins stored in closets. I discovered my grandmother’s high school diploma and an essay she wrote about her meeting my grandfather, it was sweet.
I’m very sad though, we got a final diagnosis for my mom. She does have dementia and Alzheimer’s. We talked to the dr. over the phone and my mom’s response was ….”oh, so I had good scores.” So I don’t think she gets it. I feel terrible because I feel like I need to be more devastated but my focus is on getting her into her new place that my mind can’t afford strong grief right now.
The dr was thrilled to hear we are moving her because that is exactly what she needs. We may need to increase her care as the dr said make sure the nurses provide her meds as there is concern that she will forget or overtake her one med.
I have extended family in town who offered to help clear out her apartment, I’ll need to lie to her that I’m taking stuff home with me when I will likely toss or donate. She says she wants to keep everything. That can’t happen.

Yes, we got it back about 5 hours after the phone call where the guy was acting all put out about my call. He was all happy smiles in-person when I picked it up though.
silva, I think it’s perfectly normal to focus on the practical things that need to be done. I think sometimes our bodies know what we can handle, and the emotional part + practical things that need to be done might just be too much right now.
Unrelated to the post I'm quoting but I feel like you have neglected to keep us updated on the peanut butter of the month club!
LOL! Well, that's over now, and looking through my old pics I didn't actually snap photos of them (if you are interested I can dig through my fridge and pantry and take them). I think got two more peanut butters and two more jams since my last post.
One was a roasted natural peanut butter, it's unsalted, but it has pretty good flavor, and a cherry jam that I don't really like the texture of. The other is a crunchy PB that I haven't opened yet, and I don't remember the flavor of jam (it's not open either).
LOL no need to dig it out for pictures! I don't know what made me think about the other day - maybe because I've been wanting peanut butter cookies!
I've had a very minor bunion for years that's become achy recently. I started wearing a brace to correct it while I WFH. The brace actually feels good. The problem is I have wide feet already and the brace adds just enough bulk to my foot that I can't put my slipper on over it. I have one pair of socks big enough to get over it, but even that's a challenge. Do socks that zip or velcro up exist? I did a quick search and only found ones that zipped up the calf, which isn't my issue. Maybe I just need to buy the biggest socks I can find...
My BIL has huge feet size 15 EEEE. I found this brand and they work well for him. They might work for you?
