good idea to #stayCurious
7-May-2025

Signs of dementia or normal forgetfulness? How to tell the difference https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/apr/29/dementia-or-forgetfulness-how-to-tell-the-difference #Australianlifestyle #Health&wellbeing #Lifeandstyle #Dementia #Ageing
CHAOS this morning as we received a call from our kid's school saying that the lunch program we occasionally pay for won't be delivered today.
I got the message after I already dropped her off at school as was already at the office.
Thankfully my mom is retired and lives nearby. She'll shuttle a lunch to her school.
Always unnerving getting a call from the school, especially since I'm now 40-50mins away at the office and not 5mins away working from home 🙃
Unexpected day off work today and day 'on' caring after I spent most of the evening with Dad in the hospital with a health scare. He was good to go home around midnight but they asked if I could sleep over so I drove us back to Dad's via mine, where I picked up sleeping bags and pillow for an exciting night of indoor camping at Dad's (you think I jest about the camping, but it involved sleeping on a very hard bed in a surprisingly cold room so it's more like camping than you'd think).
This morning I took him shopping and to vote and finally got home around lunchtime. Happily, I've since napped in the afternoon sun on a comfortable couch surrounded by dogs, so very much feeling the all's well that ends well vibe tonight
I dont believe in curses. But if they are real then I’m certain I am cursed.
Ever since I was little, nothing has come easy to me. Everything has been a struggle. A fight. A battle. Whether it is with my mental health or my physical health or even socially. Everything in life has been a long arduous struggle to do simple tasks that others seemingly float through.
