My mood has dipped a little, lately. I'm bored. My Czech online lessons start one week from today. I'm not dreading them, but am also not looking forward to them. We'll see.

My dad's situation is depressing. His dementia is worsening. My sister told me that the assisted living is overlooking/neglecting certain things. Like my dad will need to have eight teeth extracted, plus a few filled. Apparently he hasn't been brushing his teeth for ages. He's not able to care well for himself and his level of care needs to be increased again. My sister even brought up what may happen when he passes. That will be a hassle. Anything inheritance related (if there's much left) is always stressful. My sister mentioned possibly buying my portion out, since a lot of it will be real estate and my brother may wish to remain at my dad's and she lives adjacent to it. She also suggested that she, my brother and I could just own it all together. The latter would seem ridiculous and unfair for me, unless I planned to move back to the US and build a house there or won the lottery and simply let it sit for my nephew to eventually inherit. The lottery thing won't happen. It's all unpleasant stuff to think about, though our grieving process for our dad started long ago.

The addition of Lyrica has seemed a real success. It's a small dose, but handled the agitation/irritability for which it was prescribed. And as I wrote before, my left foot pain seems to be almost gone. So far I give it an "A" grade.
