Old people
So, being around our elderly moms has made me think about a "must not do" list, when I get totally ancient.
1) Resist the urge to say, "I'll be dead soon..."
Nice one ma, that always make me feel so happy to see you, all that yummy play at guilt
2) Accept help graciously, if it's offered, under the assumption the person offering really means it, ( Read more... ) -

"....Perhaps I'm old and tired," he continued, "but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied.

Speaking of The Bucket List....
What a great movie, so inspiring! I've had a sort of "bucket list" in my head since I was a kid. Don't we all? A list of things we want to do and places we want to go before we die. Oh, I have LOTS of time, geepers I'm only in my 20s, 30s, 40s, ummmmm 50s? How in the HELL did I get to be 50 so fast???? See what I'm saying? Start on doing the ( Read more... ) -

I REALLY want to work so I'm happy about it and the wage is...the same so nothing gained but nothing lost either. I'm still going to look for a "Quickbooks" job though after I "graduate" because that's what I really want to do. At ( Read more... ) -

What comes after "Plan Z"?
That last job interview with the bank was the BEST one ever! It couldn't have gone any better. I did my research, studied, practiced, didn't talk with my hands, was pretty much relaxed, thought I looked conservative (even polished my black pumps with Vaseline!) and sent thank you emails to both people I interviewed with.

Caring
It's very heart wrenching to watch your great big strong husband man reduced to not really knowing how to go about washing his hair or body without being in great pain. That's where I come in and take care of these thing for him. I'm always watching his face, his expressions to make sure he's O.K. I make things for him to eat, listen for the " ( Read more... )
