Up earlier than usual...430am, soaked in the hot tub...have not used that puppy all winter...listened to the owls and stargazed...more coffee indoors in the complete darkness...emptied my mind... and then jumped on my elliptical and seized the day. Usually I am formulating my day and figuring who needs what...

I took care of me FIRST!

Day 12 of taking care of my mother-in law. Some days are so much smoother. After a very confusing and challenging day I was ready to give up...but my husband help clarify what we are dealing with...it's a crap shoot...ya never know what you're gonna get...and by preparing and having coverage she'll be safe. I decided to give it at least a full 30 days before I make any changes. We are meeting with a couple of in-home caregivers so we can have coverage on days we work or need a break. Going to work is a break for me! :)

My Dad is great mentally but slowing down physically...but still getting out everyday. I take him out. He will probably never drive again, I see too many obstacles...his response time and inability to look over his shoulder...those walkers make you so hunched and stiff...It's good for him to get out. Its visiting a casino...he has coffee and plays for a couple of hours. Its like senior daycare...so many people with walkers and canes and I guess they enjoy it. I am not a fan, but then I prefer the outdoors and have the ability to be active. Thankfully, the workers are so empathetic and kind to the seniors. My dad used to love to garden...He was very strong and active his whole life.

Well FS buddies...Have a beautiful day!

It's a bit hard to come to grips with our parents' declining capabilities and watch them give up the many things they used to enjoy. Your morning sounds wonderful - an excellent way to start the day, clearing your mind and enjoying some quiet peace to let you put it all in perspective.

Glad to hear that you put yourself first today...it will make the rest of your day go smoothly! Aging is no fun for either the one aging or the one taking care...your patience and understanding are virtuous...May God bless you in a special way today.
