Well that was a short night - I’m up!
Bekind, happy to hear you are enjoying the kid energy.
SE, good that BB is taking longer naps. When my daughter was that age, her sleep patterns drove me to the edge and a hair beyond - and then magically the phase would change and my sanity would be (mostly) saved.
Have a good Thursday, Overs

Good Morning Overs
FBL, good to see our Wednesday visitor.
SE, I’ve not had kids but I can imagine how difficult and tiring these younger years are. Though a friend of ours had twin girls and said the young years are nothing compared to the teenage years. I’m sure that’s not helping so I’ll shut up.

Caring for mil who has dementia is proving very challenging.
Have a good Thursday my friends. Be safe. xxxx

I totally missed the garlic in the bread joke yesterday Andy while sleepily reading the thread. Duh.
Got our first rain in weeks yesterday. I no longer plant a huge vegetable garden and massive flower beds, but do have numerous hanging baskets and planters that I have had to hand water daily during the dry streak. I enjoy being outside and doing yard work far more than doing inside projects.
How are you doing PJ? How is school going. How's the back holding up?
SE, I really don't know how I made it through the young babies stage of my life. I remember always being sleep deprived. Funny thing is that I don't really remember a lot of the sleepless nights, but remember the positive life happenings. I think that is intentional.
Have a good day all.

Mags do you feel MIL will need more care than by living alone now? Is it worth looking into placements now before she actually needs somewhere so you have an idea where you'd prefer her to stay?

So, I went to Wally World for some groceries yesterday, and I saw that they had the one-shot J&J vaccine available, with no appointment necessary. After filling out the standard paperwork, I'm now fully vaccinated! Feels good to be done with that. No after effects, in fact I still went for my daily nature walk afterwards. Cold front moving in today, with rain, wind and highs only near 50F/10C for the next couple of days.
Have a Thunderous Thursday, overs!

Hey folks...art is good, the academic side is problematic, but purposeful .
My back sucks, but at least now, thanks to an MRI scan I know why. Forearmed with knowledge helps with proactive choices.

FBL and Purps, great that you got the vaccine. I want all of my friends to be safe. Yesterday I heard that only 6% of facilities like mine have had ZERO covid cases (so far). FBL, your note is a good reminder that locally available, no-appointment-needed, one-shot vaccination sites are a great way to increase uptake.
Mags, I think caregiving can be difficult no matter how “easy” someone is. I agree with Toots. We have a memory care unit here and I have seen how positive it is for both individuals placed there and their families. A well-run unit can be a happier place for all!
Have a great FriYaY, my friends

It is good to see all the walk up clinics now offering the shots. Just two months ago, it was nearly impossible to find the shots available. I ended up doing two 125 mile round trip drives to get the shots. Now, I could walk down the road and get them.
Glad the art is going well at least,PJ. Knowledge is indeed power.
Best wishes for a good day all!

Hi Overs -
Yay for jabs! Worth it.
Farewell Eric Carle. He is on one of K’s Mr Rogers episodes. His family had a tough childhood - moving to Germany right before WW2. No wonder he understood that kids need hope.
Thx for the sleep support. I think we are finally rounding the corner. I’m still pretty exhausted, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
This time BB’s reflux is the challenge, but thankfully we only have a rough day here and there bc he has a very easy going personality and he does ok as long as he is sitting up, eats in smaller quantities, etc. Tough days are exhausting. I actually prolapsed my bladder trying to soothe him on a tough day 2 weeks ago but was too tired to type about it. It will be a long recovery road for that :/.
All care giving is exhausting. No personal experience but I think dementia would be harder. I have heard about the girls and teenage years.... (not going to get ahead of myself - I have plenty on my plate right now
Baby is awake.
Wishing everyone lots of sleep, and a safe 3 day weekend in the US.
Oh and BB already weighs 19lbs. No wonder I feel beat up on the tough days. He is a chunk.

Pain manageable today. I got a lot of stuff done while the going was good. Grateful to be alive and able to fight the good fight. Art going good....I opened some black (thankfully water based) paint, but it was sluggish coming out. So put some strength into squeezing the bottle. So came out- all over my gloved hands (nearly winter here, especially my burnt hand feels the cold), on the floor, my laptop....who'd have thought that would happen?

Ugh PJ, that must have been a mess. Yuck. It's weird how I forget you all are headed into Winter.
SE, prolapsed bladder. Ugh. That sounds miserable. Hang tough.
I usually post in the morning when I'm more hopeful. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Sleep usually resets me.
I take the kid to the train tomorrow. I hope he does okay riding it by himself. I love trains and wish I could go with him. It has been magical having him.
Courage, peace and endurance to all of you with whatever you are working on.

Good Morning Overs
SE, I hope you’re soon feeling better.
PJ, oh no, I hope the paint hasn’t damaged your laptop.
Bekind take care love.
Taking mil and her sister for Sunday lunch today. Makes a change from cooking for us. Though to be fair Mr. Mags has been doing his fair share of cooking, especially at his mums.
Have a good Sunday my friends. take care xxxx
