to many things

I will start with the latest bad luck in the money story. it is funny yet not. I was visiting my sister and nala was with me. I had her off leash on the front porch and of course when she heard kids next door, there is a lot of property off she went, I went over and one of the kids grabbed her. brought her back on leash and to the porch, she was excited and somehow got tangled in the table that had my phone and my sisters wine glass, well you can guess what happened. I dried it out in rice and all worked, yeah, but when I called no one could hear me, the microphone had died, goodbye phone. I had no insurance of course
my mother is continuing to bad so annoying. she actually heated up the frozen dinner I had bught for them, the meatloaf one and my dad ate it. I thought the box said feeds 2 but I was quickly corrected and then told how small the meal was, I wanted to say you guys don't eat much and theyare only TV dinners, bought for you to save you cooking, she had to get off the phone as she had to watch the dinner when I had called earlier!!! I simply hate it. found out she had fallen the other night, again I asked if she was using the cane and of course no. she was alright but still wont listen.
my ED is kcking high, responding to stressors that are occurring and that includes work and 2 particular situations.
have to go, going in early asĀ  have platters to get done plus ready 2 stations, oh but angie thinks she runs all over and is going to insist on a 2$ raise, HA

What a shame youve lost your phone. It isn\'t easy to get by without one. Any chance of getting it repaired? (I know whoever could do it would probably rather sell you a new one).

Theres something bizarre about your bringing proper cooked meals to your parents but eating very little and very limitedly yourself. Can you manage to make or buy three portions and have one of them yourself. You certainly deserve to get at least one proper meal a day!

When I got my new phone, they put it on a payment plan. It doesn\'t have to do with credit since I have horrible credit. They just add a small payment every month (I have a good phone and they charge me $10 a month to pay for it). I hope you can get something like that. *hugs* I\'m sorry about your mom... I just don\'t see the situation getting better. Just do what you can. *hugs*

Hey Ann, family issues are very triggering and challenging eh, and more so when your parents are aging I can imagine. I used to work many years a go as a Nurse\'s Assistant/Nurse Aide, and as such took care of a lot of older/elderly people recovering with hip breaks, injuries from falls, etc.

They can be a tad frustrating and self-focused at times. I also found that the older some get they seem to \"revert\" back to childhood thinking/behavioural patterns. When I did my Early Childhood education training many years a go and had to study Human Development stages - from the cradle to the grave, the textbooks said exactly that.

Hope your phone issue can be sorted without too much drama and that you can score a great deal somewhere for a new one.

Take care and keep going, one step at a time. You can do it. You are worthy of recovery and self-care. Kim x

I did get a new phone and larissa that is what Verizon does now a monthly payment. however since my phone wasn\'t working I couldn\'t hand it in as a trade and eventually when I mail it back I will get charged 300$. not mailing it anytime soon. Kathy it is bizzare but I have always been like that. I care for others and always liked to cook for the kids yet I never ate. the meals lately I have brought over are ones they just have to re heat and even then it isn\'t good enough. I had bought some frozen dinners and mother heated up the meatloaf one, said it was good, dad ate it but didntwant it again, she said the meatloaf was good and as were the potatoes however, the portions were very small!! why couldn\'t she leave it on the positive note. I simply couldn\'t call them last night, trying hard to not call every night, it stresses me way to much. thanks all and many hugss

There\'s no way to get a replacement for your phone? If it\'s not one thing, it\'s another! Sending you lots of hugs sweety!!
