It’s been a long and particularly difficult week with the realities of aging parents, their health concerns and an erosion of boundaries I placed for my personal mental health.

I know all will be well in the end, but in the meantime, I need to try to prioritize myself this weekend. Reset.

This Wednesday calls for a very large pot of coffee. Or three.

Had someone cut me off to beat me to a parking spot, and they promptly got stuck.

Thank you & karma πŸ˜‚

My hubby to the cat β€œKiwi, mommy is malfunctioning”

Me: β€œto be fair, you knew the model was defective when you purchased it”

I did Banana-Apple today for this very reason.

Added the apple as it was also getting questionable, and there wasn’t enough bananas to not add something else

The black cat woke up this morning and has chosen chaos.

I’m in for it.

I’m not entirely sure what happened to the day other than #Monday.

It’s adorable how my cat attacks and chases her own tail.

It’s slightly less adorable when said attack occurs at 6am on a Sunday in our bed.

Not phonak, but my aids (and the hubbys) have an app. We pair via the app, and not the Bluetooth settings.

MRI this morning. I was doing well with my anxiety until I showered. Now I’m a mess. Good times.

After the flu last week, this is the weekend to get caught up with adult life things.

But now all I’ve done is laundry and shower and I think I need a nap.

This flu is no joke.

Finally feeling human again after 5 days. And by human, I mean barely.

Please tell me it was only a few days!

Between the whining, the crying and the outright hissy fit, this afternoon was intense.

Seeing the 9 year old revert to toddler phase was something else lol

Some days the win is acknowledging that supper will either be takeout, including veggies or a bowl of ice cream, including chocolate sauce. And choosing the takeout πŸ˜‚

The best part of my partner returning home from his vacation is supper being made for me.

I may be horrible at fending for myself. I can cook, I just don’t wanna.

We have a guy like that in our office. Sends an email then promptly comes to our office to explain said email.

Dude, I haven’t even read it yet, and if I had questions, I’ll reply. No need to waste more of my time.

Watch Mark Carney's full speech from today.

Canadians, at this time in history, we are fortunate to have the Prime Minister we have.

My cats vet kindly suggested we cut back on food, as she is starting to get overweight.

We had an automatic feeder scheduled to go off about 45 mins ago.

Cats can tell time. She’s been having a fit for the last 44 minutes.

Send earplugs. She’s MAD
