Reality check ... Kim, and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day ;-)

[bazooka111]

First, here's to you! Morning Mimosa ... this was a pic from yesterday morning before we left our lake house, and returned home -- we were celebrating Day 22 of self quarantine.

Secondly, a good night sleep is something to be thankful for. My friend pictured (right), her name is Linda -- she stayed with Mom last night in her bedroom, so that I could get a good nights sleep --- new normals are being established, and with the unfortunate day yesterday here on this forum .. I needed a good night sleep. Rest is always good -- clear the mind, meditate .. deep breathing exercises are amazing. Oh, and a cuddling session with my hubby -- he gives good hugs when I have a rough day -- incredibly grateful for those that have been placed as pillars in my life - we all need strong pillars.

Finally, all of you that have reached out to me directly/privately has been like hot stone therapy to my heart. Your response to me is the very reason that I am drawn to this forum -- I am on social media platforms personally and professionally (i.e., Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) ... and yet, this forum I gravitate towards because no one understands life as we know it with PSP / CBD; including all of my friends that are in the medical field --- they just don't get it. Yesterday was like the "ice bucket challenge' -- Do you remember that?

Today, I awake with a full heart of varied emotions, lots to think about, and a continuation of my reality ... and that is to stay focused on my sweet Momma's needs, spiritually, physically, emotionally and psychologically! My time, as you all very well know, is limited, and I will stay committed to the best care for my amazing Momma.

Thank you for your unwavering virtual friendships and support. Some days I come here, and I imagine us all sitting in a circle and having a group therapy session, ending with tea, coffee, and maybe even a couple of glasses of wine --- I'll keep that picture pinned at the top of my mind.

P.S.

Covid19 thought: We are not stuck at home, but "Safe at Home" ... Day 23 today in self quarantine, and fiercely protecting my Mom from this horrible virus.

I always love your photos. Thank you!

Your mom looks great. Her face looks like she has lost a little weight...she, to me, looks younger.

That's the spirit Kim. Today is the ONLY day that matters, yesterday has gone and can't be redone. Tomorrow might never happen. If nothing else changes in this horrible world we now live in, let's hope we all retain this attitude on the other side of this virus.

Sending big hug and much love

Lots of love

Kim, I'm so sorry I hadn't viewed posts in a few days during the "unfortunate day". I too, think of this place as a therapy circle. However, though I do make my own wine, I would rather join our circle with a small (or large depending on the day) Irish Whiskey. Please keep posting.

Oh!! Irish 🥃 whiskey! Sounds yummy! This week I have enjoyed Moscow Mules!!

Hi Kim, you're posts always make me smile, you are so good at looking after your Mum. You guys lift my spirits, whatever you are doing, cooking, jigsaws or praising the Lord. I am currently missing my mum who is quarantined but not with me as I don't live with her. I normally see her several times a week and also usually go with her to any medical appointments. It is all so different, I have my husband and children (19 & 16), but I am still missing my mum!

Keep up the positive mum/daughter posts for those of us who are separated from ours, please. Julie.

Oh Julie I am sorry you are separated from your Mom I’m these unusual times we are living in. Hoping that this will all pass sooner than later! All of my brothers, grandchildren, and extended members of the family feel left out in seeing Mom ... we’ve had a couple of fun Zoom video sessions —- one day at a time!
