Good grief!!!
It's only been 5 months since I became my Aunt's caregiver, and 1 month since I became Mom's caregiver.
I truly understand that it's a lot of stress, but I looked in the mirror today and feel like I have aged 10 years!!
Ugh!!!
God bless all of us that are dealing with this inexplicable situation!!
If you're doing it by yourself, and have no time to rest, renew and replenish, then the result is you're aging and dying prematurely.
Oh well... Lol
Praying as hard as I can to have some semblance of my life from just 6 months ago!
At this point in my life if someone thought I looked like a "movie star" it would have to be Jabba the Hut .....Ok I am being a bit hard on myself. But if we can't laugh that is a sad situation!
Oh and I have to ask(no response really needed) how come everyone that takes a "selfie" looks good when I try it there is an old lady that keeps getting in the way?
Tell that "old lady" that she is beautiful on the inside!! And that she can Photo shop like everyone else!
You can't photo shop a beautiful heart!!
I at least get my hair done about every 6 weeks.
My hair dresser has also become my "Hairapist" . Lol
Seriously, nothing wrong with a little pampering from time to time. It can help us feel better. You’re not being excessive or vain. You are finding a balance in your life. Good for you!
It think when you get used to living on stress, it's hard to know what to do with yourself when you can relax.
God bless!
We're gonna get thru this!
My voice has gotten better I think, I don't have that quiver sound quite as much. I was starting to sound like Katherine Hepburn in her later years. And I finally stopped panicking every time the phone rang.... in the past when I saw my parents Caller ID or later on the senior facility ID, I was a total mess.
I managed to find it funny because, when you think it through, there was no way that question could not have offended one of us.
Plus, aged before my time or not, I am still prettier than her. Ha!!
[Can't think why she's always hated me...]
