Hey everyone. Sorry that I haven't kept up with everyone. I hope that you all are doing well.

Juja - regarding the campral. Take it with the attitude that you are not going to drink. I think being in that frame of mind will help. It is a very subtle change but it did help. My problem is that I wanted to drink so even though I wasn't having major cravings, I decided to drink. Then that makes the med ineffective. I hope that this helps you. :h

I'm still in Oregon. Will be here another couple weeks. Mom is hanging in there. It's hard because she doesn't remember things. So, she would forget how Dad died. Who we had contacted, etc. I pray that the Alzheimer's will stay at this stage so that my brother will be able to stay with her at home. He is moving in here to take care of her. She functions ok besides not eating but her short term memory is not good at all.

I had to call my hairdresser and have her tell me what kind of dye to get. I've got major white roots now. :H Got to take care of that.

I hope that everyone is doing ok. :h

Nora,
No need to apologize for not staying in touch. Good heavens, girl, you've got enough to sort through.

Perhaps it's a blessing your mother has a bit of Alzheimer's, in that your father's death won't be all-consuming? I don't know...but, I am glad your brother is willing to stay with her. Dear God, what a godsend he is.

Don't concern yourself with me. I'll keep in mind what you said. It's up to me, regardless.

Get some rest, sweetheart.:l

back from the store and now doing laundry
Nora, it's good to see you. I am glad your brother is being such a big help. Try to get some rest.
Juja - Nora is right about the Campral. Hope I didn't sound discouraging. But your head does have to be in the right place.
Hi to everyone else that checks in later.

Flyaway> How nice,nice, nice, Have a great time, and please send pics.

Mama> We love Asheville. I wish we could move there. (insert snarky ha ha) What a town.

I'm getting over a cold/flu? Had a fever of 101 Friday night, so I'm thinking it's more than a cold. It's been a long weekend.

I should iron, too, but I don't feel like doing anything.

Still sick, and in bed. My bedroom is no longer my hermitage.:upset:

I forced myself to get groceries, and thought I wouldn't make it through the store. We have the potential for a major snowstorm on Wednesday, the cupboard is bare, and I felt I had no choice but to go. Still, I dislike it when I'm a martyr. Campbell's pork 'n beans would have lasted a few days. What's wrong with me, anyway? W-o-m-a-n.

Also, I have reached the end of the internet, and am :nutso:

Hey everyone.

Juja - feel better. Poor thing. :l

Sun - have a wonderful, wonderful time.

Mama - Stop ironing. That's what the dryer is for. :H

Fly -yuck housework.

I hope that everyone is doing ok. I am out of the loop but am thinking of you all. :h

Twitch - have you ever tried yoga? I have just started and am finding it very helpful. Working on the breathing has helped me. My friend has fibor and she is taking the yoga classes with me.

hiya Twitchy!!
I wish yiou woud visit with us more often.
I ironed and watched "Argo" with Bret on Uverse. It was really good. I remember all of it.....I was a freshman in college at the time....
I need to do yoga too
Bret is starting on blood pressure and Cholesterol meds.....aging is so fun!!
I am practicing positive thinking. I have a veey sarcastic sense of humor, but I need to work on the voice inside my head.
Right now, however, this head is asleep, so let me get some coffee in me and I'll pop back in.
BTW...has anyone ever done a body cleanse?? Thinking about it...
