Somethings Stressing Me Out Lately

Ronny TX - 12 May 2005 05:12 GMT
Apologies for somethings I said in some thead posts of mine tonight. I
was just letting off some steam because somethings have been stressing
me out lately and today another stress was added on to that because for
some reason no one came from the home health place today to stay with
Mom? I knew my cousin wasn't coming today as her sister is here on
vacation;but she had told me another lady would be here today. And I was
really wanting/planning on going to town today so I could pick up
somethings to finish my last project and get on with the one I'm on now.
So this last straw of no one showing up today sort of bummed me out! LoL

And too,recently my main club discussion group that I post in on WebTV
closed down and the fellow who started that went off WebTV. Long
story;but I think most of that was caused by a small group of people
being so hateful to him and someothers and that for a long time. So I
just miss that group and a number of people on it,some of which I have
known for 5 years now. And not sure what will come out of all of this
now?

Funny thing,I can now look back at the last several weeks and see
something just wasn't/isn't right. I mean,I didn't think I was
depressed;but yet when I look at it, some of my actions say otherwise.
For one thing,losing a lot of interest in something that I was very
happy and interested in starting,that's a sign of depression for me. And
just doing the least of what has to be done is another sign.

Now I'm doing a bit better over the last few days. Getting on with
somethings like fixing up a quail pen and getting a start on building a
cabinet incubator. Both of which I've wanted to do and use. I know it's
good for me to get on with doing things that interest me and make me
happy. That's one reason I was bummed out today about someone not
showing up from home health care and therefore me not being able to go
to town and get some lumber and such I need for my projects. I'm just at
a standstill on them until I get a few things and that I don't like at
all and so here I am griping about it! LoL

Enough griping for now. I better get to bed in a bit as someone may show
up in the morning or early afternoon from home health care.

Thought someone would show up from home health care yesterday,to stay
with Mom while I went to town;but no one did. Well,cousin is supposed to
come today. Sometimes it's 9 or 10am and sometimes it's not till 12 or
1pm;but either way I need to soon finish getting ready to go to town
before she gets here.

Maybe in my next post I'll be in a better mood because someone came and
I got to go do some needed shopping! LoL

Finally did around 2pm. :-) So I hurried off to town and didn't get back
until 5:40.

Got me an old Readers Digest condensed book at Goodwill for light
reading. And for $3 I think I found just what I needed there as well for
the front of the incubator I'm building! A framed piece of heavy
glass-about 18x18 inches square,so that really made me happy! :-)

Then got my poultry feed at the farm store & some lumber and other
things at Lowe's. So I got what I need to get back to work on
somethings. :-)

Got most of the groceries at one store and then on to our local Piggly
Wiggly because they had catfish on sale. :-) Got 15lbs of catfish
nuggests for $15.90! Just hate I forgot to put down the spice you
mentioned on my grocery bill;but can get that next week.  

Then got home and found a neighbor had dropped off 4lbs of hamburger and
two roasts! :-) And this is from farm raised beef,so extra tasty and
lean!

Oh and I bought a huge bag of frozen tater tots cause I like them better
than hushpuppies. (ha) So I have some extra cooking and Mom and me some
eating to do this coming week! LoL

Didn't mean to fall asleep in my chair about 30 minutes before dark;but
I did. Wanted to wait until I had gotten the guineas up at dusk. Fell
asleep though and slept for about 15 minutes. Glad I woke up in time to
get those birds up. Don't want them roosting in the trees as something
would probably kill some of them. And my 6 month old cat trouble did not
help me in getting those guineas up!:-( In fact he was a little pest in
chasing them,hiding in the grass and jumping out and scaring some of
them so that they scattered ever which way. If I had of had the energy I
would of wrung his little neck!LoL But finally got them safely up, got
Mom her meds,so now everything that has to be done for the day is done.
Now that's a nice feeling! LoL

Mom's a bit restless tonight. Sleeping mostly though;but having to get
up now and then in the last half hour. I gave her a Benedryl about noon
so she would hopefully stay calm and or sleep while cousin was here this
evening. Now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have done that. But the
other day when help was here Mom was in a rather fiesty,fighting,not in
a good mood day a good bit of the time!:-)

Better get on. Probably won't stay up that late tonight! (ha)

Ronny:
Thank you. :-) And I did pretty good. Got to sleep about 2:30am and got
up around 8:30. Had a headache though-probably from staying up too long
and sleeping so sound! (ha) Took some aspirin for that, rolled my
shoulders a bit and got outside some. Muscles right down below the base
of my neck are tightening up again though,so I better get off line in a
bit,sit and relax,read a book or do something like that. Yeah,stayed up
too late and after leaving here I checked out another group that I've
just been in for a few days. There's a thread going there that I've
replied to a few times and I figured I just might of stirred up a little
something there and sure enough I had. LoL Replied to 3 posts there and
a couple of times to another post in another thread that set me off.
Took a good bit of time to completely respond to this news article that
was posted there. (ha) So,my own fault for being up too late! LoL
Although for awhile I really did need to stay up late to watch Mom last
night. She was just sort of out of it. Half awake,half asleep,nervous
and such. Would sit up and say she needed to go to her potty chair;but
most of the time she would just lay back down. Onetime she got up and
said she was going home. Got through the kitchen to the door there,
stopped and came back and lay down and back to sleep.

I said in my other post that a neighbor had brought us some hamburger
and 2 roasts yesterday while I was in town. Boy does that one roast
smell good now! LoL This morning I thawed it out in the microwave,
browned it in my 12 inch cast iron skillet, seasoned it with something
called Tony Chackere's Creole Seasoning,put some hot water in the pan
and have had it simmering for 40 minutes now. Will let it go a good
while so it will be good and tender so Mom can eat it. Or if it doesn't
get tender enough for her,I will put her part through the food
processor. Love our food processor for stuff like that! :-) One of the
best things we ever bought or was given as a gift. It just makes it so
easy to grind up food that Mom could not and or would have a very tough
time eating.

Would like to reply to another few posts in here this morning;but I
better get off of here for now,eat a bit myself and rest!(ha)

Hi Ronny,

So glad you got all your chores done in town and out and about.

About your mom getting more feisty, that does seem to tend to be a part of
the process of the illness.  When Ida got that way the doctor upped her
Zoloft, and that seemed to keep her more content and relaxed about life.
When that stopped working, and her delusions got more compelling,  he added
the Risperdol.   Even with the meds it was rough at times.

Have you given any thought about what you'll do if she needs more watching?

Good luck with your catfish!  The name of the spice is "Seafood Magic" by
Paul Prudhomme.  It is a tall bottle inside a white and orange box near the
spices.   They also have a "vegetable magic" which is very good on fried
potatoes and many other things.   I don't seem to care for the other
seasonings he makes, just those two seem to work well for us.  I even
occasionally use the seafood magic on chicken.

Best Regards,
Evelyn

So far it's been good since the other day. Mom staying in a better mood.

Not that much. And I need to.
