Green Grotto V: now 5x more pretentious!

Yes! Label EVERYTHING. If you buy her new bedding, label it. Underwear? Write her name in em. Jewelery? Keep it at home. Makeup? Sharpie it. Books, wet wipes, perfume, etc. You’ve got to write on it.

Its a pain but necessary. Don’t take in multiples of anything because the aids don’t look and will open the first one they grab. (shower gel, shampoo, deodorant, etc) My aunt is a hoarder and buys everything in bulk. She’d take my grandma 20 toothbrushes and a pallet of body wash. There wasn’t enough room first off, but yeah. You’d end up with 3 open bottles of the same thing. I’m hoping you won’t have this lol.

You can ask if their laundry offers labeling. Sometimes they can make labels and stitch them in.

So many road-ragers mentioned above!
Stuff like that bothered me when I moved to Warshington, land of clueless drivers.
Learning in San Diego, I knew how to merge & let others in, how to let faster drivers go, passing safely & usually traffic going 10-15 mph over posted speed limits.
Here… No one has any idea how to zipper-merge. They sit in one lane for miles cursing anyone in the unused lane. They flip you off, jam their car over to slow you down or to direct traffic, go the speed limit or slower in the fast lane, have no idea what the hell a freeway onramp is for… it goes on.
I now just watch my ass. Avoid idiots. Let some go & accelerate away from others.
Ahhh… Old & retired has benefits…

Sometimes I get in a rut. Same thing again and again.
Threw this together tonight.
Farfalle pasta, homemade (by a friend) Italian sausage, basil pesto, roasted asparagus, and parmesan.
It turned out great.

you can cry… might help make you accept things as they are. it is a heart breaking mess.

dementia is very sneaky, a little bit everyday every year…
so I don’t think this is the beginnings of her dementia.
more like medication side affects like poof said, can be an electrolytes imbalance. or the bacteria egg thing, maybe is not quite gone?

I could say welcome to the club,
but I don’t want you or mama chev in this painful club!!!

strength and love chev.:green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart:
