This morning I went on an over mile walk with my mom and my Niece who was in a stroller. It was nice. I had therapy but I got suddenly very hungry on the way so I stopped at a gas station to grab a protein shake. I chugged it and it made me nauseated. Therapy was decent but she was really focused on food today and I totally forgot to tell her about my uncles girlfriend who is still in the ICU and on oxygen but is thankfully off the ventilator.
Right now I'm just drained of energy and am in bed watching CNN as normal. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Last night was my third straight night of sh!tty sleep. I take my meds and go to bed early, but then start waking up at 2:00am. I feel i'm still getting over my stomach upset of the weekend. My intestines hurt from vomiting so much. I'm eating some more normal food tho, so it's improving. Guess it'll be a couple days more.
In good news, my drop-in has removed the mask mandate, so i can go again once i feel well enough. I hate the masks! So uncomfortable! |

Sorry. My mother LOVES her independent living residence. They have coin op washers and dryers too. Her monthly payment is $1,950 (Canadian) per month but includes 3 meals a day. Average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in that neighborhood is $1,700 a month, so it's a really good deal. Her suite includes a patio, kitchenette and bathroom. They don't supply everything, like toilet paper or shampoo. It's my understanding that's usually the case for independent living, whereas a care facility supplies everything but costs a lot more. They have a "tuck shop" within the residence that sells things like snacks and toiletries. They also have a little hairdressing salon, gym, and library! I forgot to add that the price includes 24 hour security and monitoring (they have a wristband with a button they can press in case of emergency) |

Samicat your mum’s place sounds nice. This place provides one meal but it costs extra. They do have a beauty shop and a room to play cards in.

@Nammu just wanted to add good luck with the seniors' advocate tomorrow. There are really a ton of options out there for seniors so try not to worry. I'm in Canada, and here there are so many apartments run by various organizations like the Lions, Masons, Christian groups and so on. Hopefully the advocate will have a comprehensive list for you.

Glad you're back @MuddyBoots! I think I understand the feeling you're having, post hospitalization. I remember thinking something similar after many of mine.
@Nammu, I hope you find a much nicer supportive living community to consider. You deserve a comfortable environment. I'm sure such a transition so soon after your loss will be difficult. My brother is being transferred from the hospital to an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where they'll help him hopefully get back to getting around better. Right now it's even too hard for him to get to the bathroom, sometimes, let alone manage other ADLs. Afterwards, the plan is for him to return to our late dad's house, where he's been living for around 15 years. With Dad gone, there are a lot of questions about his property and house. My sister and I agree that our brother should return to the house, but there will come a time when the property will need to be dealt with...inheritance stuff. If my brother beats the cancer, he will likely want to stay on part as his. My sister also wants some (or all) of the property, as it borders hers. They'd have to buy me out, as I don't have an eye on returning there. Yesterday we managed to get some crucial things set up in our house. For the first time here, last night we ate a meal at our own dining room table. The day before we ate at our coffee table. The two days before that, our "tables" were a cooler and step ladder. We borrowed some dining chairs because when we found ours, in storage, they had inches of mold spores on them. Before that, we sat on our sofa to eat. We power washed our chairs, but I'm skeptical that they are really safe enough to use. The seats are woven rope types. Right now they are drying in our utility room, with the heat cranked up. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia.

Oh ToM I hope your brother pulls though. Sounds like quite the up hill battle for him. Yeah inheritance can be tricky.
Ohh tough luck about the chairs. But yay to finally eating on a real table! I imagine it will be some time before everything is done and the house becomes a home. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Volunteer job went well today. It was my first day on my own. Was kinda chaotic, there were like 9 cats today. I did my best with cleaning their litterboxes, cages, gave them all fresh food and water etc. All of them were so sweet. I'm really tired. I woke up at 2:30am and have been up ever since. I'm going to the movie theater with my friend tonight. Going to come home and hopefully go straight to sleep. I kind of dissociated/panicked on the bus ride home from the pet place today. Like really badly. I don't know if it was from lack of sleep or what. I'm sure that doesn't help. I can't wait to go to bed tonight
Two of the cats were loose in the room when I went in today, so I guess whoever had yesterday's evening shift accidentally left their cages open or didn't close them properly. Anyway, all the kitties are super sweet and I love meeting them and playing with them. One of therm was named MadMadigator or something along those lines, I forget the exact spelling but it was something like that. It's funny seeing the different names of the cats there, there are some very unique ones that come in. __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

Blue bird Oh, ha ha 😂 that sounds like a pretty cool name for a cat! 😂 yeah I love seeing what the cats names are, so many varieties.
I’m sorry about the bus trip home. Hopefully you have a great rest of the day and sleep well tonight. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
