This morning I struggled with eating my breakfast. I had scrambled eggs and oatmeal with my coffee. The last two days I have had some food stuck in my throat and I had a hard time getting it down. So when I ate the eggs it was a bit hard to keep all of itContinue reading “My Thoughts”

Thursday
Everyone is settling down for bedtime tonight. I’m spending time looking at social media. There are some posts on cooking I liked. Some posts from dog lovers, or about rescuing stray dogs. The latter makes me feel sad. I wish people would stop abandoning their pets. There are success stories that I liked. Those areContinue reading “Thursday”
All About a Book
I’m delighted. I looked at my publisher’s website and saw that a book I wrote has been sold today. It’s lovely that someone picked my book to read. I’m very happy. I’m inspired to go on writing. Being in a nursing home I don’t have a computer or printer that has my writing software toContinue reading “All About a Book”
Frustration
I’m frustrated. A few days ago I weighed 101.8 pounds. But today I weighed 100.5. Yesterday was good because I ate all of my meals entirely. You can appreciate my feelings of disappointment that no matter how much I ate I can’t get past 101 pounds. Yesterday was particularly good because I successfully ate myContinue reading “Frustration”
Sunday Evening
It’s Sunday evening. My Dad and I just had our dinner. We had chicken but mine was ground with gravy and Dad’s was batter-dipped and baked. My meal had zucchini slices and mashed potato. His meal had mashed potato too. I don’t remember what his vegetables were. He had difficulty slicing the chicken and chewingContinue reading “Sunday Evening”
So Close
I’m this close to getting to my goal weight. I’m like logging in to my fitness tracker every day and looking at my calories. I’m thinking I shouldn’t look at my app too much these days. Looking at my app too much is causing me a little stress. It’s enough that I’m close to goal.Continue reading “So Close”
Prayers Needed
I’m in need of prayers for me and my Dad. We want to live in the community where we can live independently. We want to live in an apartment or rent a house. I’m almost at my goal weight. Soon the nursing home will allow me to be off my feed completely. Pray for thatContinue reading “Prayers Needed”
Today
This morning I ate my breakfast. I had no problems eating. They served oatmeal and scrambled eggs. I had a couple of cups of coffee, chocolate milk and apple juice. I just finished praying the Rosary. I asked God for help with my wish to live independently in an apartment with my Dad. I hopeContinue reading “Today”
Every day before breakfast comes I get sad and feel doubtful about my day. But once I have my breakfast I feel able to deal with my day. I pray every morning to God that my day will go well with His help. My meds include an anti-anxiety pill to keep me stable. But theyContinue reading
Sunday
It’s close to noon. I’m feeling sad now. It seems to me that all I do is wait for the next meal. That’s my job. I need to weigh 100 pounds for them to disconnect me from my feed and take away tube feeding. Life in this nursing home is monotonous. I’m only happy ifContinue reading “Sunday”
