I have no title
This blogging every fortnight or so thing is good for me. It makes life so much more manageable. True, I blog elsewhere, but that’s not really the POINT, thank you.
Aaaanyway. We’ve had several weeks of 30°C or more weather (possibly it was 25 and up, but it was too much either way) and I’ve spent most of my time flat on my stomach on the bed, computer in front of me and cat behind me, both of us gasping for air in front of the fan. I don’t know why I’m unable to function when it’s this hot (actually, I do, it brings back bad memories), but I do know that I hate it. A lot.
My therapist is good. Some things he says are scary, but I think I need to hear them. He’s put another few diagnoses on me, which is a relief because when the psychiatrist said I was ready to work full-time I wanted to cry. At least there’s somebody who sees that I’m not well yet.
Have done a bit of pretendy work, but am now on summer leave. I started quilting over there, to get my project from a few years ago done.
My grandfather’s dementia is getting worse. On my mum’s birthday he kept asking where we were and who everyone was. It’s very sad, and doesn’t even touch on the fact that he can barely hear, see or walk. My grandmother can’t be away from home for more than an hour or two at a time, and has ot do virtually everything for him.
Seeing him like this just makes me feel that I never want to become this old. There are ninety year olds that are perfectly clear and don’t lose their memory, but I don’t think my odds are good. My grandfather, both his brothers, his mother AND my grandmother on the other side has/had some level of dementia. It’s sad and scary.
My parents went away on holiday (Austria!) and wants me to go over to their place and “check up on” my brother. He’s 25. Yes, seriously. I’m not going to and I told them as much. He would act more like an adult if they’d treat him like one. That’s what I believe.
And now my evening meds are kicking in so it’s bedtime for me. See you next month!
