 Hi Gang!!!!

 

 Life has ups and downs...I really think the "Guy upstairs" has me here to figure out just how much someone can take before a complete and total melt down..."so far I am winning", dont know how but I am..

 My latest is my Aunt, How she knows everything and how it is "HER" sister and she will talk to her how she wants to..  Asking mom questions that she wqould have no idea on how to answer, then argue with her.. I even had a call from the facility about who was the person from her last call... Mom was upset and mean after the conversation. Hmmm, how do you tell someone that knows everrything how to comunicate?.  UGG

 Mom has a sprained wrist now too....  She told me she got it from wacking a bad employee??   I think Mom fired this person, in reality mom slipped while sitting down and her wrist got the weight.. She is fine..

 Mom is on meds to increase her apitite and also drinking ensure.. Not that this is helping at this time but we are trying.  Her weight is at 100 pounds give or take depending on the day.. scary but we are trying..

 I am still sifting through paper work and donating time! I played in a golf toun. for a semi local alzheimers gig.. I definatly got the longest drive!!!!!   to bad it was the wrong hole.. I mean I sliced the heck out of it, my ball hit the cart path,another golf cart off the club house then into the parking lot.....HOLY CRAP....  oh well the day was a blast. the monies went to caregivers of Alzeimer's patients... tooo coool!

 I constantly think of all the help I recieve and give and what can I do to do more... not that time allows it but it is such a good feeling to give what I have recieved...

 An old friend from here has returned to say "Hi' to me. So great to hear from her.  Makes me want to drop everything I am doing and visit everyone I have met here.. wouldn't that be a blast...  I get so damn frustrated at times, life deals me a crappy hand yet I stay in it only to recieve blessing for the effort..  Right when I want to quit, someone/something comes out of the blue just to let you know it will be OK,,just hang in there..  I feel like that cat hanging from the tree branch "hang in there baby".  I guess I am in a emotional state of mind right now??  The bad seems to be out weighing the good.

 Good!!! well my sister and I are pretty much on the same ride!  she understands me now and why I always have to take the big chest pills, you know someone has to wear the cape now and then..  She hugs me now rather than complains... not sure what happened but sure do like it... I HAVE A SISTER AGAIN.....WOO HOO

 We still have difference but now we figure it out together. nice to be part of a team..

 I could sit here and throw so much at you that choose to read this..  My life is really in tormoial,,hmm, how do you spell that???? I know what it feels like but I hide that part of my life and show the strong person.
