So Much For Keeping Up!!

[debris4spike]

Well I have managed to post some photos, but haven't replied to comments, or done the next day of the Meme thingy.

However I have almost organised for my old furniture here to either go to charity or the tip, and for the furniture I am having from M&D's to get here.  So haven't been too lazy.

Forone thing I cut my hair, so that was a job that was needed.

Saw Dad this morning, and he was upset when I got there, but after that was sorted we had a good laugh and a chat.  I find ti confusing as with the Alzheimer's I often don't know what we are talking about, but Dad does, and he's happy ... so that's the main thing!

Still tired from the virus, or the CFS, but the coughing is easier, and I am more focussed.  So, hopefully that means I can at long last get back to work next Thursday.  It's good timing really as I work for a week then have already booked a few days off for Easter.  So it will be a good test for me.

Well I will try to get on with replies tonight, but as I'm using my Tablet, it only lets me use my default icon ... so you will all get to see the photos of Mum (well if I get organised!)

Hopeyou are all having a good day today.

It sounds like you are getting things done despite being tired and it's good you're feeling better.

Thanks.  Yes life is slowly picking up, I just feel guilty that LJ is suffering

I recognise what you mean about conversations with your dad - I've had some like that over the years.

Poor Dad, when he is having a good day he makes sense, then its even weirder to see him on a bad day

I think it sounds like you've done a lot! I hope being with you dad wasn't too distressing. He's lucky to have someone who cares, and it sounds like you're coping well.

Have a good night!

Much of the time with Dad I enjoy being there.  I feel so sad when he is trying to tell me something, but can't get the words out

Some days, all we can do is keep on.

So true

After years of inactivity on my flist, I too am struggling with all the new shiny things. I'm posting the 30 days thing and trying to comment but I only look at my pc in the evening so it's been a bit hit and miss. I'm hoping to get into a routine soon!

It is good to see a busy f list, but overwhelming at the same time

Yay for getting things done! :D

[debris4spike]

It's great to tick a few things off the list

A busy and worthwhile day, sorry that your dad was upset but glad that all is well now.

Hope that wretched virus is finally on the way out!

Went back to work today, but only kept there for the morning.  I am still tired, but am still slowly getting better

My grandfather just died of alzheimers on Christmas. It's tough to not be able to understand them anymore. He talked a lot about the war. He thought the home he lived in was the ship bringing him home from WWII. But a least he was happy thinking he'd see his wife again soon...

Dad doesn't do the living in the past thing.  He forget words, and gets frustrated when he is trying to tell me something.  It's a horrible condition

[zhelana.livejournal.com]

It is. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it :(

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, you sure as hell get shit done, I'll give you that!

[debris4spike]

Thank you 😊
