By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I do believe nature...in any form...is a good stress reliever all the way around. It reminds us that our problems are small...in the big picture of life.
For my stress reliever I make my husband massage me. (feet--get your minds out of the gutter!) I know-I am such a brat!! But I swear, I am part cat-I NEED to be pet but only when I want to be pet-just like a cat!!
For a hobby I love to walk in the woods. I guess you could call it hiking but I don't really hike. I meander around and look at the wild flowers and birds and rocks. I love to try and find heart shaped rocks. I really love to gather things like that. Sea shells, heart shaped rocks, pine cones( for an outside fire) , 4 leaf clovers... Of course, sea shells I only get to collect on vacation but the rest is local. I was thinking of picking up the hobby of mushrooming--there is one type of mushroom that is very rare and expensive -maybe moral? -- I have to google it-- and I think they might grow around me-around a lot of places. And there is a place about 2 hours away where a whole bunch of those rocks that have crystals inside are and I soooo want to go there--it is along a creek , I think. I just LOVE to gather nature things.
Fun.
I am in my childhood bed stressing about getting my Mom to my house tomorrow for the week. It is nice to think of things to destress(my husband and daughter a at home --miss them :(. )
When I get a nice day to work outside, I do have to stop (dirty and sweaty), every 20 minutes or so to check on Mom. She gets annoyed with me when I make too much noise with the trimmer and blower....but she TRULY get JOY from the finished product.
Try to EVERYDAY do something for yourself. Even if it's just eating a bowl of ice cream!
Right now the most immediate stress reliever for me is humor....laughter really is the best medicine! I also love to read - especially fantasy (love "Game of Thrones"!) but just about anything that will let me escape the drudgery for a while. And whenever I can I draw/paint....problem with doing that is I HATE to stop once I get started so when my husband tells me "pack it up - time to go to mom's" I get crabby and depressed...and then I start kicking myself for being childish. Ach, it's a vicious cycle!
