I started feeling fluish a week ago. At the same time, I was sick of the weed cough and was ready to take a break. No withdrawal symptoms. Like none. Not very hungry, but I could eat. I could sleep. Covid test was negative--Lyme was positive. I've been sober a week, still with no symptoms. Last time I quit it was pretty bad the first two weeks. Idk what to make of this, but hey, not complaining.
This little book is not expensive, and it is so handy. Quite comprehensive, it covers everything from a chart of bead sizes to weaving and working with a loom. If you are starting out, I think you would find this book very useful.
My husband is one of seven, all getting very old now. It has been a close family, with many parties over the years, annually at my Bengali brother-in-law's house. We are having one last get together--of the seven siblings, four are left, all with serious health issues. We are gathering one last time at BIL's house, and although others are bringing typical American foods, I want to make my bro in law channa masala, rice and dal. I don't need recipes, but I know Indian food is supposed to be eaten fresh, so I was going to cook it in the morning then drive to the party. Do you think it will be okay after an hour and a half drive? Should I cook the day before and not worry about the reheating? Thank you for your advice.
So it's been quite a journey taking care of my old guy for the past 12 years. Everything changes, sometimes daily, and sometimes behaviors go back a couple of years or present as something new. I've been really lucky because although incontinent, if I got him to the bathroom around 8pm he would usually poop. In the toilet. Poop problems level 0. Then he started having off and on constipation problems. Started him on a stool softener, which worked all too well, then played around with the dose until he was pretty regular again. And then he became *really* constipated. Upped his daily dose, made sure he got two servings of fruit, nothing for two nights. Next day he's really uncomfortable, and he has hemorrhoids, so straining hurts. Well, boys and girls, I put on a glove, got a q-tip and some olive oil, and OMG it was like delivering a baby.
I had to laugh. Popped another cherry.
