I'm keeping all 3 of you in my thoughts, Drew and Pix.

My dad has a doctor appointment tomorrow for a check-up/lab work, but mostly to get a referral to a psychiatrist (or an inpatient stay in a psych unit), because he's having the same hallucinations again, along with some paranoia and hoarding (both of which are new). I'm going to his doctor appointment tomorrow because that's the only way to be sure that whatever the next step is, he does it.

That's heavy, Tep. What she said, Drew and Pix.

Oh dear, Tep. Scary stuff.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I found crepes at the grocery store, so for dinner, I made a savory crepe with ham, brie, arugula, and balsamic glaze. I shall experiment with other savory crepes in the coming days.

Happy birthday, shrift! (And your crepe sounds strangely familiar to me!)

I had the chance to spend some quality time with my 5-month-old grephew this evening, which I shall treasure, since he's on a plane to the east coast early tomorrow with his parents for an extended visit with the other side of the family. And I got to snuggle with my sister's dogs, which was nice, since my house is now sadly dogless.

Best wishes to all with illness in the family.

Husband's been whining about still being sick, how come he got respiratory symptoms from this flu when I didn't, etc. When I suggested that he actually had a cold plus whatever I had, he thought I was crazy.

Guess who woke up with cold symptoms this morning?

Sorry, Dana

Mmm crepes

Is it me or is it even harder to know what day it is this week than last week? I am this close to being completely unstuck in time

Teppy I hope your dad gets the help he needs.

And Pix I hope your dad gets better quickly.

Mom has the flu over Christmas but she is over it and she came down on Sunday to exchange presents. I got gifts to help sleep and a cute cat themed tote.

The sleep gifts were the Hug Sleep [link] Which was a Shark Tank thing. It's a light compression swaddling blanket cocoon for adults. She got the one with a hood which also has an opening for the feet. Looking at the sizing options Mom got me a size larger than is recommended but I think the size down might have been too much. I'm not sure. It's cozy and does helpe relax. It's kind of the same effect of a weighted blanket but without the weight.

I haven't slept in it a whole night because I got warm (our bed room is always warm) and also it felt a little claustrophobic at one point. But it's comfy and I can feel myself relaxing ...not as much on my legs that isn't tight enough but I put my weighted blanket just over my legs the other day and it was perfect.

She also got me some gummies and I tried one last night since I have today off. It was working but M was restless and everytime I was almost asleep he would move around and wake me up. It also seemed to wear off around 4 am and I was awake for a few hours. Now it's after noon and I'm feeling a little bit of sleep medicine hangover so next time I ont be taking a full gummy.

Penny has hurt her back leg and is limping around. I was looking at pet stairs but realized that we don't have enough floor space between the bed and the dresser or the bed and the wall to have one and not have it in the way. So I am going to come up with some other solution.

It was delicious when we had it in France, and it also was delicious inexpertly made in my kitchen.

I'm really sorry to hear about your dog.

Guess who woke up with cold symptoms this morning?

Oh, god damn it.
