I'm basically on call today, as my boss doesn't have work for me at the moment because he's tied up fixing a client's Access database. I was really stressed out this morning so I took a hour walk. I've been doing a lot of walking lately to deal with stress, which is helping. Gotta get my bike fixed and/or rejoin the nearby health club to get better exercise.
My stomach's been feeling better lately. I've actually been doing things that I'd been putting off. Remember when I lost my glasses a year ago in March? I finally went to an optomotrist so I'll have new glasses with progressive lenses again. (I've been wearing a 14-year old non-progressive pair for the last 15 months. I often have to take them off to read.)
Been talking to a number of Kansas City IT recruiters thanks to Gud. I've gotten a lot of good advice and some job leads.
I still often feel like a case of baskets, and I have had lots of stuff to deal with lately, but getting things done is helping my mood.
tommyrot, that really is hard. Is she in a memory care unit?
Yes. We had to move her from Clintonville to Cottage Grove last year so she could be in a memory care unit.
OK, they found the hearing aid battery at the nursing home (with bite marks) so Mom didn't swallow it. She just ate part of someone else's hearing aid, but not the battery.
Hey, that sounds like you're doing a lot of good stuff, tommyrot! I think the mood/getting things done relationship can be a loop -- you start to feel better, so you can start doing things, so you feel better, etc.
Sorry about your mom, though.
OMG, that just reminded me of a horror story my uncle told about getting a bit of his hearing aid stuck in his ear.
I think the mood/getting things done relationship can be a loop -- you start to feel better, so you can start doing things, so you feel better, etc.
Exactly. Getting the loop started is a great thing. I'm sorry about the mom issues. It is good that your sister is close by. I'm sure it is difficult for your sister to be mistaken for her aunt, but it is no doubt a comfort for your mother to have her "sister" visit.
Hooray -- my office is closing now! I'm even more glad I got my stupid reviews done.
Jessica, if you get bored, look me up in the address book!
Timelies all!
Gary got the day off, but I didn't. They did let us leave 2 hours early, so here I am.
For sj and any other parents out there, here's an article about eagles with a title that includes "parenthood makes you crazy".
