@JimBob1952 Love the names :)

If I had a lake home where I could retreat and recharge, I'd call it Wit's End.

A place in Scotland? Come Heather.

My grandparents' cottage on a lake was called The Frog Pond. My grandfather was French Canadian and didn't care that "frog" was a derogatory term; he was damn proud of being one.
 

I have always had a fear of stairs so attempting them is not something I can do. Neither is taking an elevator that is faulty. The engineer clearly told the lady upstairs that it has not been repaired. He said she can take it and it will probably get her where she is going, but then maybe not. So don't count on it at this point. Many others have decided they will chance it. They probably don't care if they get stuck in it. I am afraid that I don't do well in situations like that.

Not having left my floor since the day before Christmas has been very hard. I feel like I am on house arrest. Then of course, the new aide called in sick. The agency called me this morning and I was on the verge of crying jag and told her how horrible things were and I was depending on the aide coming yesterday. She said she would try to get me a back up one. At this point today, I will take the 15 hours they wanted me to have to begin with. I will find work for her.

Sorry, for my whining.........

I've been up since about 4:40, too, only it was Maggie-dog who woke me. Not really her fault just a little ear flapping noise.

I had a dentist appointment today, but had to cancel it since I have a cold and couldn't picture having a cleaning and stopping to cough every few minutes. So, I got the first new appointment, August 28th. That's okay, I can do a pretty good self scouring with a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.

The next available appointment is seven months away? No offer to put you on the list for cancellations? I'd be looking for a new dentist...

No, I will wait it out. I do not want to leave my apartment. I have the best apartment here. I would just die on the first floor, way too busy. I think help is coming. Just got a message that there is an inspection on the 10th being done inside every apartment and community room by Conifer Realty (our owner) and a third party inspection committee (maybe Norwich code enforcement?).

And by the way, the elevator is broken again since people were using it last night and again this morning. This morning they were using grocery carts on it to bring boxes of food the food bank brought for us today. I never got mine. I don't even care.
 
Had a great time with our two older grandchildren overnight. The house is very quiet now - the baby's napping, the kids went home, and I'm catching up with y'all.

Had a trip planned for Palm Desert but scrubbed it because we don't want to haul the 5th wheel in the rain. It's been pouring here off and on for the past couple of weeks and the next few weeks look to be the same. Yes, we need the water, but not all at once. Hope to reschedule PD when the weather improves.

Instead of soaking in warm mineral pools we'll be putting away the Christmas decorations. Such is life.

Well since I woke up this morning I've been crying. I listened to an autistic girl singing and I cried. I read about a girl whose father died and I CRIED, then I listened o the platters singing "Only You" and sure enough, I cried. think I had better go drink some water before I get dehydrated.

Sometimes we need a good cry, just the nature of things. When I did it front of the hubs, he would freak out, what is wrong, what happended? Nothing, I just need a good cry, somehow it relieves stress and keeps me going.
 
Yawn. I gotta figure out something to do to relieve the boredom on a day off. Mornings are okay, but by noon I'm a basket case. Mostly all I do is watch TV and play online solitaire.

I can tell you for sure that I'm not going to quit my job; they'll probably have to carry me out in a pine box because it's all I have for what might be called a social life.

When spring comes, it'll be a little better because I can play in the dirt with the flowers. Afternoons in summer are almost as bad as afternoons in winter. Summer afternoons are too hot to be outside; winter afternoons aren't usually too chilly to be outside, but there's precious little to do in the garden.

There's a senior center not too far away, but I don't have a way to get there :(

Getting old was a piece of cake. It just happens. Most of the time actually being old sucks.

Whine.
 
I've pulled the place apart looking for my Estranged husband's Passport. He asked me for it.. and goodness knows I took the place apart because it wasn't where he said he saw it last., which was 8 months ago when he was here.

I started to panic a little bit when I couldn't find it.. high anxiety knowing how he'll react if I don't find it.. . I was actually sweating buckets, even with the heating off and the temps at 60 deg in the house.. .😰

I looked in every file box, every drawer, every storage box.. even places I didn't think it could possibly be.. TWICE!!..I even asked him to come and get it himself which he refused..

Finally..I gave up a prayer to St Anthony.. and did a third search, and suddenly remembered one small place I didn't look before.. and thank Goodness I found it!! *phew* .. he's been hassling me all week to find it, saying how urgently he needed it.... and annoyingly when I sent him a mail saying I'd found it, he didn't reply. !!😖 How urgent is that ?

Wow, I would say if he wants it he has to give you the homeowners insurance for both your homes, your home in the UK and the vacation home in Spain. You have a little leverage here. Think about all the things you need to know regarding finances and property that will be of benefit to you!! I know you do not like me right now but I still want the best for you. Make him give you what you need!!
