I was recently referred to a Caregiver Support Psychologist who gave me a handout on 101 Stress relieving tactics for Caregivers, high up on the List was Yodeling. Just thinking about that being a serious suggestion makes me want to spontaneous combust! Mediating at the dinner table is about all I can count on, forget about stimulating conversation... and so, if your Fantasy ever becomes a Reality I'll applaud you for doing it before me. Dawn...

My two are 32 and 25 now and they still revert to child like behavior around each other:)<br /><br />I have to laugh that people will offer up disapprovingly looks to a young woman in a wheelchair because she doesn't like waiting for hours to see a doctor. Really? I tend to wear a fuck off face when Katie starts up. Katie hates waiting too. We spend a few hours in emergency not long ago and to be honest, our daughters have it right. Why do we have to wait so long? WTF! How come they can see the stupidity in the long waits and we just put up with it? <br />My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-79504809790967465992016-09-04T23:38:50.781-07:002016-09-04T23:38:50.781-07:00Just loved your reaction to Sophie's Dr's ...Just loved your reaction to Sophie's Dr's query about caregiver burnout (surely you already contracted that years ago). Please teach me how to spontaneously combust like that - I get the urge to do it very often. <br />Interesting that both Sophie's Dr. and ours have been plugging the VNR. We've put it on hold because we're engrossed in "pressure sores" now. How do you brush off the suggestion when it's raised?

Now at 19 he lectures me on the virtues of Gary Johnson and (best yet) is prepared and even eager to LISTEN to my politics too. And apparently DEEZ NUTS is running for president in some state somewhere, so maybe even the 17-year-old knew something.
