I have been staying at my father in law’s home from Sunday morning to Saturday morning. With him on hospice, he can’t be left alone. My husband comes on Saturday mornings. I got to have a mini spa day yesterday. Which was nice.
This morning, I woke up early so, I made the most of my time before heading back to my father in law’s. I was able overcome Mount St. Laundry. There was so much clothing to fold/hang! I went through all the Amazon boxes that had been delivered during the week. Our living room looked like an Amazon warehouse!
I did not bring my scale to my father in law, which I thought I would die without it but it was not the case. I kind of like weighing weekly.
My eating is not been great. I had groceries delivered today at my father in law’s home. I am pretty prepared for the upcoming week.
Today is my and my husband’s 23rd wedding anniversary! I love Fall so much we got married on the first day of Fall.
Thank you for advice and well wishes. Our boys, 21 (Jacob) and 18 (Matthew) years old and Jacob’s girlfriend (Jean) help out a lot. But with Jacob in nursing school, he basically goes to school and study. But he does not have classes on Friday. So he helps on Fridays and Sundays. Jean goes to school as well but her schedule is less rigid. Matthew is not working, so he cooks dinner nightly for my husband, Jacob and Jean while I am away. My husband works in the Bay Area so he comes on Saturday mornings to his father’s home. He stays until Sunday morning when I come back. Because I don’t work outside the home, it makes sense that I stay during the week.
Also, the boys and Jean visit my aunt at her nursing home about a mile from our home. She, too is on hospice with Alzheimer’s. I am grateful she is in a facility.
My husband has an older brother who is (and I trying to be nice, honestly) is of NO help. At all. He physically can’t help but he could call his father but chooses not to. What is sad, after my father in law passed away, he will certainly have his hand out for his cut of my father in law’s estate. Unbelievable! There will be so much to do. But I can’t control what is in my father in law’s living trust. I am grateful for his living trust. It is cut and dry. My brother in law has to live with his decision. Just irritating.
My father in law is a difficult man. He is lucky his children interact with at all. He was very verbally abusive. But the man is dying. I don’t have a lot of emotional attachment to my father in law. But my promise to my mother in law on her death I would “take care of his boys”. I am the only female in the family ant this time. And come help or high water, I am going to do that. My mother was a saint, truly. I feel I am making her happy doing this for her.
We all just doing the best we can.
I had my Proffee this morning, took my vitamins, will take a walk today.
Have a great day!
Love the photos.
