Thank you both. I have a few days to determine if I want to return the new fitbit. I've tried counting my own steps and neither one of my wrists agreed with me, one said 10 steps more, the other 10 steps less.
Jim I'm going no place fast on my stationary bike. My outside bike needs a tire.
I agree with the contentment of becomming retired, it's an amazing reward, one that not everyone gets to enjoy. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this site is like the lotto on meeting your mate, you have a much better chance in real life or a higher quality site. I wish you the best of luck. I'm also waiting to bump into a mate but I'm not going looking.
We usually have great April' fool pranks running through our family but not this year, not even my son or I tried to prank each other but I have a feeling he pranked his wife and son.
I remember doing that too Chat when I called my folks from across the country, they would not accept but would call me right back. I don't recall the last time I saw a pay phone.
Again my heart thanks all of you. I will take Mum to see Dad in a little while. I will walk her back to him and stay for a visit before coming home.
Mimi the mirror on the dresser I have looks much like yours. The dresser itself has drawers with crystal like knobs. I LOVE THOSE KNOBS. I haven't seen those in years. I remember when door handles were made to look like those crystal like knobs.
I don't know how to post a picture for you Mimi or I would. I know how to email or text it but not how to post it to CS.
It has been blistering hot here the last few days. This morning it is NOT sweltering, it's almost a bit cool. Today is going to be a great day.
Thank you all. Out of nowhere one of my Mom's neighbor's gave me an antique dresser that she inherited. A different neighbor delivered it today. I have an empty bedroom so I accepted it. Just went in there to look at it and it's beautiful, WOW just wow. I'm trying to keep that empty bedroom empty until I decide if I want a craft room or an extra bedroom. That dresser will hold an awful lot of supplies.
I was a bad daughter today. I didn't go inside the rehab center to see Dad but I did pick up Mom from there and drive her home. sigh Dad won't remember if I went to see him or not. I feel a little guilty but that's my problem.
I've been eating very healthy for the last three weeks and I think that has done wonders for my attitude and stamina. I swear I'm watching my Momma wither away. She was a tiny bird in her last life I think.
I've researched Home Health Care and it sounds reasonable to have assistance go to my folks. They offer all kinds of services from personal hygene, to doing chores like changing the bedding, showers, grocery shopping or taking to the doctors. The prices are fair! I think having someone come give them assistance is better then moving them out of their lifelong home into new place to die. Dad has made it well known that he wants to die in his home. If all goes well he will leave in his sleep. Life doesn't usually go that well though.
