Katie and Ellie

For someone who spent years and years and years managing someone with frontotemporal dementia, not the usual plain wrap variety, I swear, since 2016 it’s been daily PTSD. It’s not possible that ANY medical professional doesn’t see it. How this continues I have no idea.

Gorgeous cat. 🎄

I knew they were veggies but that’s a lot of geese in one place. Just picture them stripping the place. 😂

Bet you’re really glad you retired. That’s a lot of work.

Weird year throughout.

I’m up 3-4 times a night, usually up the heat around 4am.

The photo looks like ones the memory facility I had to use would send me. Same grab for whatever with the same expression. On someone else this would be a sad thing, on POTUS its f’ing ludicrous.

That’s painful.

True. I use a down throw for extra warmth and if she manages to get under before I can make the bed, the bed is hers. 😂

Good! Stay warm!

Can only imagine how much they eat. 😂

I keep saying children’s choirs should include You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. It’s too freaking perfect.

Damn. 😭
Ellie was likely a day from death according to vet. When we walked into the room full of cats, she struggled up and came to us. I’ll never forget.

Heart lifting.

We’ve both kind of had it.

Wow!

Inculcated is a good word. Yes. For everyone. It’s what we do with it that defines us.

I keep trying to say it like it’s normal.

Deep breaths. If you can.

I’m thinking a lot of them never earned anything themselves.

Not really. 😂

That makes sense because that’s the proper word but no, I was just wrong.

It’s awkward in use as well. 🤷‍♀️

I don’t think that works. As an adjective it would means you feel a closeness, a nearness …

Turns out propinquity doesn’t mean what I thought it meant so’ve been creating sentences to use it appropriately. Not that I’d use it in conversation because it’s hard to say, but it’s bothering me that I misunderstood it‘s meaning.
I thought it meant a quirky characteristic.

Really enjoyed. Reread her previous just before so I didn’t miss anything.

Perverse, ill tempered seems like a perfectly normal state to me. 😂 Nothing about them is normal.

I get a lot of fundraising Nancy Pelosi requests. I’ll always support Democrats but still have a physical reaction when I see her name, seems like never will I ever get over the fury.

Stayed in bed to finish the latest Karen Pirie. Wow. Sweating.

Now what?

It is! Hoping for a quick trip to the nursery and some random dog hugs.
