Holiday With The Family.
I watched Groundhog Day yesterday before going to bed....always a delight but as I get older and skip a few years between viewings....it changes...becomes sweeter and funnier...very relatable to my own life.. Now. In past years the guy choking on his food always reminded me of my husband. Less now.
We are still buried in snow. One of my nice tall shrubs is bent to the ground and the major stem is surely going to snap in half sooner rather than later. I can go out- but I wouldn't be of any use in deep snow other than to fall down and freezer to death (Maine is solidly frozen in the single digits weather wise). Before being noticed and taken to the Emergency Room.
I think about the Emergency Room often. How I do NOT want to visit it.
I've had two possibly three small glasses of water so far today...I am noticing better cognitive capacity if I remember to drink my water. Hydrate. I had oatmeal for breakfast. Son fried some of the leftover pierogi with butter and onions for his lunch.... Now the house is very "fragrant".
Daughter and I decided on a Time Out yesterday...after she went thru my cupboards taking out "expired" items.... her father was demented for years before he died....a real "handful" as they say...keeping track of where he was and what he was doing.....and not using a five pound bag of white flour...... was NOT really something I needed to talk about. Or be reminded of.
I lost so many of MY remaining years while taking care of him.. I won't be getting a refund....what's gone is gone.... I dumped the flour into the garbage can and walked away.
