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.

Magic!
take all the vitamins that my paycheck could ever afford. ( magnisium, folic acid, d3, calcium, c, a multivitamin, prescription iron and b12). I was running a temp and really didn't have enough energy to get out of bed. I will be 61 on dec 27. She ran all sorts of tests and called me back the day before thanksgiving with a dx. I have an active case of mono. What?!!! Who have i been around? Lol, life is like a box of chocolates.......
I guess I'll have to take it as a sign that she's letting me know she's ok and happy. I hope so.
Then, two days ago, Mom gets herself hospitalized for a UTI. I'm hoping she is released today but, I have decided, no matter what, I am taking my trip. My husband has been in Dallas all week and we have been planning this fun weekend revolving around his work party. Mom can't take it from me.
Never mind we've both been sick for weeks and the hotel California was hit with an intestinal flu bug over thanksgiving weekend and so he says well doesn't sound like she can go out to eat so no sense in his coming up to see her - grrrrr
Mom2Mom, Sounds like things are under control. Take a deep breath and go enjoy that trip to Dallas. We caregivers all need a break no matter if that break is big or small.
I hope everyone has a good and peaceful weekend. Yesterday it began to get dark here at 3:30 and stayed gloomy...now it is supposed to get even colder and maybe rain. Yuck.
I watched the "I Love Lucy Christmas Special" last night. I had never seen it before and it brought back great memories of watching that show as a kid. It really helped to cozy up in my warm robe and laugh at something.
Well, there are always the cute animals videos.
Have you seen the pig eating crisps? Oh all right then I do love the internet!
Dh took his bike into the shop for repair after his bicycle accident. It will cost $30 but he tells me after I bought his usual $50 Amazon card. Seems now the money will be endless, so I am going to be smarter and get me some! Lol with an attitude.

Like every other winner...
Happy weekend, all!
The other one I can't stand is the one about the Pacific North-West (Seattle??) and Swiffer. Esp. the version with the woman with the screechy voice. If I don't mute the sound in time, my ears ring for an hour. Blargh.
All the pitch men for RM have been men, like Robert Wagner, Fred Thompson, James Gardner, Jerry Orbach. Why no women pitching these products? Or like my late Mom would say "what would they know about finance".... [sigh]
I haven't been around much....about 5 days ago, my shoulder started to ache. Then my tendonitis started up, which made my forearm ache too (same arm). It increased to the point where I couldn't sit upright at my desk to work. Bad news for a small business owner. Went to the chiropractor twice - by the night after the 2nd treatment, I was in so much pain I couldn't move. Finally went to the ER to at least try to get some pain relief, and xrays showed severe disc problems in my neck, and the compression is pinching the nerves in my shoulder and arm. They have given me a few pills for pain, but I need to get in to see my regular doc and can't do that until January when my insurance will kick in.
Sooo....for now I will work propped up in my bed with alternating heating pad/ice packs (depending on what works that particular day) and try to work on my laptop (which needs replacing) so that I don't lose too much income from this. Lost almost 1/2 a week's pay last week until I was able to get some pain relief so I could at least work again. I guess we'll see what the new year brings as to whether I need to have surgery or not. :-(
I remember the days when I was accessorizing my wardrobe with ice packs.
Hope you are able to sleep. Trying to find a comfy position isn't easy.
