I slept until almost noon

Of course I had was up from 3am to 7am but still it was a welcomed treat. Richard had got up and unlocked the door and the Hospice nurse woke me up when she came. I hadn't expected her so soon. She usually doesn't come until late afternoon. I had to scurry to finish her Christmas present. I had crocheted her a furry scarf but I also individualized a book "Ice Cream Heroes" for her 3 kids. I had edited the story but I hadn't printed it out yet. She is going to bring her kids by today. I even got... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Will Heal All Breaks

I came as an angel, my purpose to spread love. Enclosed within this fragile body and so many burdens to bear. As the weight increased upon my back, my purpose I forgot. Faint memories drifted through my mind but stress would push them out. Then one day, the veil was lifted and memories flooded from above. But having carried burdens that love would have erased, my angel wings had broken beneath the heavy weight. How will I fly to spread the love that radiated from my heart? It is the love that...

Vibrations of Love

This world is one of vibrations; each having their very own. But always in this life a duplicate exists. We each seek out in others the vibrational tone to compliment our own. An unknown, knowing that this will make us whole. How rare indeed the two should meet and interwine their sounds. The beauty of the energy that radiates to all. The wonderment of why this is; so opposite they seem. Yet, looking past their outer shells that carry the spirit within. The Law of Attraction has once again... Sign in to see full entry.

The Caregiver is Taken Care of.

My angel Teena introduced me to a friend of her's who manages an antique store called Duck, Duck Crossing. Teena talked me into framing copies of my poems to sell. So, I found some really nice frames at the Dollar Tree and combined pictures, clip art or graphics by Hallmark with full poems or shortened versio ns. They turned out really nice if I do say so myself. Teena had JT come over and sit with Richard and off we went for a girls day out. Her friend thought they were good also and that my...

What a wonderful day it has turned out to be

I'm finally feeling better thank goodness. I have never had such bad earaches and a sore throat. I told Mom that if I were a baby, she would have been walking the floors with me I would have been crying so much. I surely wanted to cry. Teena is back full time now and we are sooooooooooooooooooooo glad. She and I put up Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree. Please her heart she cried so many times and thanked me for letting her share in our Christmas. Actually this was one the first years... Sign in to see full entry.

My Spunky Girl

This is my granddog Spunky. She was so happy to see me Thanksgiving Day at her Mommy and Daddy's. I got lots of hugs and kisses and she stayed in my lap. She was like "You came to my house to see me". I love you, I love you, I love you." If I put her down, she jumped right back up in my lap. She loves all my cats and her Poppe Richard. She makes him smile a lot. She covers him with kisses when she comes. She loves to beg for cheese. She loves to chew her toys. Unfortunately for her Mommy she... Sign in to see full entry.

Bob Tail

RE entry with picture He arrived one night so very late; a cold and windy night; hungry, dejected and dirty. Such sadness in his eyes; he knew he had been born with something wrong. He had no tail and problems cleaning. The others left him alone. His face was oh, so handsome and sweetness filled his eyes. A more majestic cat, I have never seen. With the princely silhouette he strikes; a Lion King he will make. His touch of love so ever light and a meow so sweet and small; each morning I wake up... Sign in to see full entry.

Unbelievable

I had to take Richard to the VA today for his appointment with his geriatric doctor. They called right before we were leaving to tell me that Dr. Bush had moved him to Dr. Proctor and the pallitive and hospice care team and that she would come to the house to Richard if he couldn't get out. I told the nurse that he could walk today and that we had to meet with the Veterans Affairs representative to see if Richard could get a pension. I had found all the papers he needed and he came and found us... Sign in to see full entry.

I have itis, itis,itis

Woke up with laryngitis, called the doctor's office and got in with the nurse practitioner. Teena had to take her sister to the doctor in another town so JT agreed to stay with Richard. JT was finishing the downstairs wall and closet anyway but he was done by the time I had to leave. Julie called and said that the doctor's office was going to call something in for Richard and she would see him early tomorrow. Anyway, the chest pain from the weekend was readily explained as soon as Alice listened... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleeping in Pruneville

Richard actually understood that I need to sleep and I'm not Wonderwoman. Of course, the conversation about the fact he was going to have to be admitted to a nursing home because I had reached the end of my physical endurance may have made a difference. JT and Teena got here around noon and I went back to bed and I slept all afternoon. When I woke up, the bathroom was finished. Painted and new floor, the toliet doesn't leak, new sink, and my jacuizzi. It still needs a few finishing touches but... Sign in to see full entry.

A day on oxygen and in bed

It has not been a good day. The exhaustion and chest pain started early with Richard banging my arm on the bedrail trying to wake me up. He was hungry and wanted food right then. He later tried to say he was banging a rag doll on the rail to wake me up. That pig didn't fly. By the time I had fixed his breakfast, Teena called and said she and JT were on their way over. I ask Richard to wait about getting up until Teena was here since it had taken an hour the day before for him to move 15 feet and... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Days Out By Myself

I've had to run errands the past two days and Teena stayed with Richard. I have found I don't really like going out because of the effort it takes to get dressed in appropriate clothes and make up and brushing my hair. Then I start sweating and have to sit in front of the fan. It is such a hassle. Teena keeps telling me I need to get out anyway. Yesterday was an effort just to get through the Walmart. Today I had to see my counselor for our monthly meeting. It was nice just to be out driving... Sign in to see full entry.
