No Stars In My Eyes

Last night's bedtime was disappointing because Momo had peed on my comforter, which had oozed down to the mattress. I have to get one of those water (pee) proof sheets ASAP! I was kinda mad about Momo always peeing on the bed and the sofa, but at lea...

3:20....Sil just came by and said she was going to take Nannie to her house and would bring her back after supper, along with a strawberry shortcake for me. Then she said I looked like I needed a hug, so I let her hug me. It didn't make me feel bette...

Yeh, I'm up and dressed and have done the same for Nannie. It is exceptionally BRIGHT out there, just in case anyone was wondering. I did get up earlier to feed Momo and pray she did her biznezz in the proper place. Then I slept for another hour and ...

😒 .) I took a Xanax with a cup of hot coffee when I got in, hoping to tone down a bit of the BLAH feelings. SiL said I am probably starting to feel the reality of hubby being forever gone, and that's part of grieving process. Yeah, I keep stubbing my...

Have been awake for two hours, but still in bed....have written checks to pay bills. Going to bank and grocery store. SiL and BiL are here since noontime, but I haven't gone downstairs to greet them yet. Going to get dressed and go out to take care o...

Fifty-six degrees and rainy today. Quiet day. Called SiL because when she called me early this morning I wasn't awake enough to remember what she told me about coming over this week. She said she will come over around noon tomorrow and stay until abo...

The casserole was good and very easy. I didn't put it in the oven, though. (whole wheat elbows, diced ham, corn, peas and black olives). As my son-in-law used to say: "It filled a hole." We watched a College Gymnast's Championship, Nannie kept s...

I believe I will go up to the kitchen and prepare a casserole for our supper tonight, That shocks even ME!

Darn, Ratz, and Phooey! It is just after 2 PM and SiL has not called or come by. I got Nannie up and she was already dressed and dry, so after a trip to the bathroom to change one pad, I brought her out to her recliner; She was giving me a play-by-pl...

I'm awake and lounging in bed. Have already fed Momo, and put out a tray with Nannie's pills, a spoon, a glass, and napkin, ready for Nannie's breakfast....because I THINK this is a day when SiL is supposed to come over and get her up. I certainly HO...

I read somewhere recently that Magnesium helps lower A-1c as well as statins do. I dunno, but thought it was interesting, so I am mentioning it here, because of the above conversations. Maybe look it up and see? G'night!

Good Afternoon~ dianah, a housekeeper would be nice.....would be like having a wife to do the chores! SiL says she has Nannie on the waiting list at Senior Center Daycare, and that would be two days a week, on which she would come over and get N...

Okay, got up and started in by emptying all the wastebaskets, put away and hung up all of Nannie's clothes that were out draped here and there from her "midnight prowling". Her sheets are damp, but not wet-wet, so I peeled them back and turned on the...

I can't even recall what I did yesterday; I feel like I didn't do much of anything, and I feel even more like not doing anything today! By now I have created double the mess and it is hanging over my head like a dark cloud. Suffocating! I have ...

SiL came over to shower and dress Nannie and took her over to their house. No poop for SiL to clean up. I showed her the photos I took of Nannie's floor with all the poop all over the place. YIKES! Anyway, I have to go out and pick up a refill a...

Okay, apparently all the mag-citrate is not gone from Nannie's system. After supper she said, "I feel like I have to go to the bathroom." And in the bathroom, taking down her britches, I was confronted by MORE loose stool almost everywhere in the 'Ne...

Wellllll, "I did it *MY* way!!" Mostly because I had no choice.😫 And I must confess, at times when working in a facility cleaning up after a patient, I actually used face cloths which I then THREW AWAY! What a rebel!

Amazingly enough, Nannie only had to have the 'inside' pad changed, as it was kind of damp. Didn't have to change anything else. The bed was dry and clean (!!) and when she got on the toilet, she peed and did several dozen flakes of poop. Hope that i...

Good Day! (At least I sure hope so!) Last night Nannie did hold off pooping until she got on the toilet; she did a moderate amount of soft stool. Have to go get her up in 10 minutes, so I will find out if there have been any other "results" from...

j22~ Unfortunately I AM the Housekeeping Dept. here. 🤨 so there's nobody to call. Both SiL and BiL were working today so they weren't available. I am finishing the last of SIX loads of laundry; I flipped the mattress, and have the bed partially ...

Aaaaand found another huge flop-puddle on the floor at the far side of the bed under the window, and two more sheets laden with stool.... Thank God for Greased Lightning! After all the spots and areas were doused a 2nd time with that spray, wash...

OY, OY, OY!! I took some photos and a video of the HOLY Jumpin' Jehosaphat's MESS in Nannie's room. There was arc of poop drops, large and small, in a 1/2 moon on the floor around the side and bottom of the bed. Nannie was curled up on the mattr...

So, there was a BIG yikes! last night when I pulled Nannie's britches down to get her on the toilet. She had liquid stool from her waist to her knees, all around the front and in every skin fold of her lap; she said she didn't know she had to go, and...

Gosh, I'm ashamed to admit I never even thought of listening!

Nuthin', Nada, Zilch, Zero !! Also no fever, no pain, no nausea or vomiting, no headache....... WTH? Tomorrow I will give her the enema while she is laying on her side in the bed. I decided I couldn't deal with it any more tonight, this late in ...
