However, since I'm currently addicted to 3 of them, I don't need another!<br /><br />Lisa - yes saturated is a perfect word for the feeling. Overwhelmed, filled to the brim, would also work.<br /><br />L - you may be right about some of the feeling at the end of the day. But, there's something even simpler at work ... I just want to climb into bed without having 20-30 minutes of care for Skip before doing that. I long for the days when I'd go to bed about 2 hours before Skip and she'd come in and get herself to bed. She was even able to do that in her early wheelchair days, but, alas, no longer.<br /><br />Rain - you know, a few drinks to relax is a good way to chill. Maybe I should get a bit tipsy! I haven't had anything to drink in the longest time ...<br /><br />Zoomer - I fess up to the limits and that I've hit them. Doing something about it ... now that's the hard part.Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-21137472501271715742009-10-16T13:10:33.991-04:002009-10-16T13:10:33.991-04:00Feeling cranky?

I can't imagine being a caregiver on a full time basis, I had a hard time taking care of my boys when they got sick a few weeks ago. I know that feeling of not being able to let things roll off your back...I harbour everything way too much...takes a few glasses of wine to relax sometimes!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-711663374569601102009-10-16T09:02:21.460-04:002009-10-16T09:02:21.460-04:00When you say "It feels like the demands of li...When you say "It feels like the demands of life are too high and there's little ability to absorb anything else" I think that's why bedtime is typically annoying, another day ends and you don't feel like its been a productive/fun/interesting/fill-in-the adjective-here day.<br /><br />End-of-the-month time-off? Maybe a chance to play dress-up or laugh uncontrollably at Canadian humour? (with a 'u')<br /><br />What would you do to be irresponsible? A poker match perhaps? Got any friends that would like to lose $100 to you? We could play in the garage and smoke stogies...<br />I'm in! <br /><br />L (aka PokerFace)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-88030246476356923112009-10-16T00:51:19.373-04:002009-10-16T00:51:19.373-04:00Cranky-ville - I might even play that one.
Lately...Cranky-ville - I might even play that one.<br /><br />Lately due to health issues with my roommate/caregiver/Mom, I have not had nearly as much "alone time" as I need to be a chipper person. It has really affected my mental health lately in a negative way.<br /><br />Do you find that you simply get saturated? I do....and I'm not even responsible for anyone to the extent either of you are. Hats off to you both.Lisa Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862232056342347990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-11087660609518674302009-10-15T22:53:07.803-04:002009-10-15T22:53:07.803-04:00It's the only responsible thing to do.
I wish...It's the only responsible thing to do.<br /><br />I wish I had some words of wisdom, but I'm right there in Cranky-ville with you. Wouldn't that be an excellent Facebook game?stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134766859291227041noreply@blogger.com
