Mom just called one our dogs by the name of our dog when I was in college. So sweet and cute. 🙂 I miss that dog.

Mom just had the cutest confabulation. She told me all about being in the marching band in college. She was in her high school band. And it’s just occurred to me that her high school allowed girls in the marching band but the university she attended didn’t until 20 years after she graduated.

Mom asked, is this a warm temperature? Bloody fucking hell. Shoot me now I’m begging you. But you’ll have to shoot my dogs too because there’s no one to take care of them when I’m dead. PLEASE

Know this— the older you are the worse life gets. Do now what you cannot do later, because with each passing day you are tethered to a life of compounding misery.

My mom just remembered my birthday (is next month)! She was excited to tell me it was her mother’s birthday, but hey, she recognized the date. 👍🤣

Mom is mad because the staff in this medical facility is terrible. Just to be clear, I’m only trained in First And and CPR. And this her house. That she’s lived in for 40 years.

Dementia makes the decisions around here and I don’t get to go to the protest today. I’m crying. I wanted to be a person that fought back and now I’m just letting it happen. I’m so sorry! 😭😭😭

Two things might kill me before dementia kills mom: the constant never ending repetitive questions, and the passive aggressive way she asks for things and answers questions. Dementia is only responsible for one of those things.

Don’t sleep on estate sales if you’re looking for supplies and assists like walkers, wheelchairs, and shower chairs. I saved $150 today by buying at an estate sale rather than buying retail.

Here’s an idea that’ll piss off the GenX and older white Christian men: put baby changing tables in the men’s room or make bathrooms gender neutral.

Me: would you like to dry dishes or just sit here? Mom: well I’m here so I may as well stay here. Anyone else have a parent so passive aggressive that they literally cannot answer a question with a direct answer? She makes me crazy.

Mom doesn’t know who I am. She doesn’t recognize the house she’s been living in for nearly 40 years. She has no idea she has grandsons. But she knows when the Ides of March are. Because she remembers the important things 🙄

My mom’s financial advisor just told me to put my mother in a nursing home bc she has long term care insurance. This way she’ll save money and have more for her daily expenses after she dies. SMH

Car manufacturers that voted for tariffs don’t get to go to DC and beg for the tariffs be lifted. They can suck it up and consumers can buy used cars. There no crying in capitalism.

After Bob Evans lied and stole yesterday I found a worthy restaurant and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve loved Barry Bagel for 51 years so I was scared to look them up. What if I have to give up my beloved Barry’s? But hurrah, Barry Bagel loves democracy too! We had a delicious lunch today 😁😁😁
