I got the interior of my car cleaned up today. Not much else got done today.

My mother has what is diagnosed as mild dementia. She hasn't driven in a year. In July they were moved from their home into a retirement village by my sister who, at that time, had my step dads health care power of attorney. My step dad chose this place because it's on the water and he thought he was going to take his boat. My sister went along with his wishes. I protested from the beginning because our step dad isn't able to drive a boat or a car. He's had 2 strokes. They are 1-1/2 hours from me if traffic is good. The place where they live will only allow meals to be delivered once a day because, as they keep telling us, they are a retirement village and the price of eating in their dining room is in the cost of their monthly rent. (the dining room is beautiful and the food is state of the art). None of the apartments has a kitchen. This place is for 55 and over but I wouldn't want to live there without a kitchen and be forced to go to the dining room if I didn't want to get up and get dressed every day. Anyway, this is where my step dad chose and this is where they are. We are having dinner brought to their room but if my mother is alone she doesn't always answer the door. We were having someone come and give their medicine every day but my step dad has said he doesn't need this anymore so now they are just giving it to my mother. Taking his medicine incorrectly is part of what got him into this mess so this is the 3rd time, after his medicines have been managed for a while and he feels a little better, that he fires everyone - so he's fired my sister as his health care power of attorney. I've talked to my mother above moving to a place that is 5 minutes from me but she doesn't want to come without Mike and he says he isn't coming. And that's where we are at this point.
I'm convinced that dirty clothes multiply in the hamper too.

Oh my, Sheri. You have my sympathies.it is a no win situation for sure. I hope you get your mother to change her mind. Who has your Mom's POA ?
I am soon headed to sleep. See you all tomorrow.

Sweet dreams, Carol. I hope you can get your mother figured out soon. It doesn't sound like the best situation for her. Or for Mike, for that matter.

Oh Sheri, what a mess. I do hope that one of you can get POA for your mother...and force a move if necessary. It is a provincial holiday here(Family Day)....mind you it is storming so DH is forced to work. Tina, cleaning the interior of a car is a never ending process it seems. After I get a chance to clean ours, I hate to let the kids back in it

True about the car, Sunny. I sometimes let it go just on general principals. It seems it gets dirty almost immediately after you clean it.
Have a happy Family Day...even if DH has to work....
My DH,'s cousin would make his family remove their shoes before getting into his car. The shoes were put in a box and into the trunk. He carried that fetish to inside the hiuse. His wife finally left him. Now he keeps his own house just the way he wants.
Good morning ! The coffee is wonderful!

Good morning. My car is not vacuumed or anything. Just having Jonni driving it most leaves it full of empty cans and trash and change in the cupholders, etc. And it goes into the shop today.

And I went out to check Jonni's clean up job and found a couple more cans and a bunch of straw wrappers and things. Her idea of clean out and keep clean is not mine.

It seems that kids today don't believe in 'clean'...well, from the look of my daughters house anyway.
I felt so tired and achy today that I fell asleep. I have NEVER felt asleep like that in the day time....it is strange.

Yes, if you napped and do not usually do so, I am thinking you really needed it, Sunny.
I nap some days and some I do not nap. But I usually take one on Sunday for sure.
I do not want to forget to come back in to say goodnight later, so I will say goodnight now. Sleep well my friends.

It is calling for a another snow storm for tonight into the morning.

I have a technical question. What I'm about to say only happens on my iPad - not my desktop or my phone. I've tried googling it and no combination of words asks the question I need answered. Here goes.
When I google something, several links to websites come up. Just like if I put the words Garden Forums in the search bar and long list of garden forum links would come up.
Example if if put Garden Forums in the search bar - the first one that comes up is garden.org
Underneath garden.org in blue it says Gardening Discussion Forums - Garden.org and then there's more info under that.
My issue is that under each org or www or whatever when the name is given such as Gardening Disccusion Forums - part of the words are double typed. Like For Gardening Discussion Forums (which is in blue) the word Gardening is typed over in black and lower case letters with the word garden.
Does that make sense - basically some of the words are typed over. I've rebooted my iPad but it didn't help.

That seems unhelpful in your search, Sheri. Are you looking for a particular site when you are searching?

Good morning !
Sunny, should you be out shoveling today ?? I would think that doing that would wear your not-well self down and something else could make you sick again.
Girls are here..

I too wish everyone a good afternoon.

If you are not sure Tina, then there is always tomorrow and Saturday to get the shopping done.
Kids are in bed, but not asleep yet....good news is that are whispering.

It's warming up a bit...mind you, there are still a few cars refusing to start this morning. DD and her friend are dropping off GB today as they are passing here to go for a girls day out of shopping and Supper. It saves me a trip so I am glad....it's too cold to go anywhere to my notion. I must be getting old
