OD AND ME

OD seems to be much better lately. I am so relieved and happy. I have been here since 1999.

Tomorrow I am going to a new dentist. Something with my gums. I was told it wasn’t cancer. Big relief! I guess I won’t be sure until this new dentist tells me what it is. I will be so happy and excited to get into the car and drive to Florida. Of course I still have a few doctor visits to go. NERVE RACKING TO BE SURE!

Yesterday a neighbour came over. She helped me with my knitting and the start of a baby quilt. My condo is filled with my projects. Guess it’s better than being BORED!

At my age I still have trouble deciding what I should/need to do with and for my hubby. In the first forty years etc. I never gave it a thought. Now I am always trying to decide if I am doing enough.

Do I have to make my bed everyday?

Do I have to stay home more because he is?

Should he drive me to all my doctor appointments or does he deserve a rest?

He wanted to eat outside on the balcony so we did.

I guess I should ask him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am always worried that I am not being a good enough wife…………………………………………………………………

Is the house clean enough?

ETC! ETC!

I never think of myself. I mostly think of what is good for him.

Should we go out for supper? I always ask him.

What does he want for supper?

Am I sucking up too much?

I still have diarrhoea. I wonder what the  results will show.

I was so tired last night at nine. I went to sleep and now of course I’m up. Did the dishes, crocheted, now here, now back to the bathroom.

Bathroom again………………………………….

Remember not to get down on yourself for not feeling like doing something. I used to do that but now I do what I can and not worry. Love,

I hope you feel better soon. But don’t beat yourself up you’re doing the best you can so just know that you are good enough at all of it:)

Our menfolk are too used to us doing everything. When it is our turn to be cared for they don’t know what the heck to do. I am finding this out so I am not so worried about what I do anymore. I do what I can and leave the rest. If I have to hire someone to clean I do.
