What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

[LordofDargaardkeep]

Being a caregiver, even part time, is incredibly draining. Imagine having a 150 lb toddler that you have to bathe and dress but it's your parent so they're also bossy.

I really didn't want to go last night, but I did anyway. It makes for a really long day during the work week. I'm glad I did because I love my Dad and these days I'm as protective of him as I would be of my child. He has that child like joy in things that makes my heart so full.

Last night after his shower I got his adult diaper and he stood up. I was holding it at his feet for him to put his feet in it before he stood up. I asked him if he was trying to kill himself (he doesn't have the balance necessary to get dressed standing up). He started laughing and sat down. We had a good laugh over him forgetting his limitations instead of having a pity party. These little moments of joy are what life is about.

After reading this I am thinking you're a really good woman and we are lucky around here to get a glimpse of that..

(even if you threaten to shank me at times)

This is really beautiful and a good reminder to me to look for those little moments of joy when things are tough. Thank you for sharing

You're welcome!

I’ve probably peaked. I’m not sure how that makes me feel.

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

You people are some of the nicest and most fun people I know - thank you for that!

Time to continue my house cleaning...the initial guests should be arriving within 3 hours or so...

 

[Chillygirl]

I was thinking about my Lit graveyard/cemetery. The people I used to talk to…friends, lovers. Some I miss, some I only have vague memories of, others that I still have mixed feelings about.

Same here. So many people just sucked into the abyss frequently without warning.

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

I was thinking about how some of you have been so freaking amazing and how glad I am that I decided to enter the threads.

Isn't that just how life is though? We enter and leave people's lives and sometimes don't realize the impact of our presence or absence.

I don't know why Guns n Roses popped into my head as I read this.

I used to love 'er, but I had tequila

Don't tell me those aren't the lyrics. I will fight you!

Agreed. I still think about a few of my lit friends. It would be amazing to see how they’re doing but obviously the impact of my presence/absence was negligible

Theo Huxtable, Ozzy Osbourne, and now Hulk Hogan.
It feels like my childhood is dying! Growing old sucks lol.

Thanks @barefootgirl69 - now I will always sing it your way.

But then we need to come up with the other line which otherwise says

I had to put her 6 feet under …. What do we do about that - a conundrum

Me? Not a thing. I've done my part.

He was fairly young - only 71….the steroids will do you in. He looked great for his age but this is how it is.

Really? I thought he was a racist homophobic MAGA goon.

I don't follow politics. He was just an icon to my generation

FIFY ..
I try to get the rest of these fools to act more like me but I guess its just a gift and not a teachable talent. Thanks for noticing though .. Glad you are here with us!

 

[QwertyMaster]

I really shouldn't waste the rest of the day away. But then again, when have I ever let what I should do determine what I actually do?

If this is the end of my Lit journey because of UK legislation, there are so many people I am going to miss. I know I don’t interact with many of you on a one to one level but so many of you have kept me sane over the past four years. You have made me laugh and smile so much and for that, I will be forever grateful.

I am taking this opportunity whilst I still have it, to say thank you for being part of my Lit journey. If however, the new legislation does not stop me from logging in, then I will delete this message and pretend to still dislike you all

He was. Rest in piss.

What kind of legislation is pending?
