Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Well, when it did snow here in Wash D.C., we would get heavy snow which caused a commuting nightmare. I remember the Federal government would have stagger hours for going home, so not everyone would be dumped onto the roads at the same time. And it would still take them hours to get home.
Another issue was ice. The snow would start to melt causing water to stand on the road, then refreeze overnight. With a SUV-4 wheel drive we would have all 4 wheels spinning. Now a days the State/Countries use a brine on the roads to keep the water from freezing.
And without snow this winter, I miss see on the local news the empty store shelves any time the local news would be calling for snow. Oh the public panic. I always wondered, did people eat more when it snowed?
Just opened the window to get some fresh air in the house.... oh my gosh, someone somewhere is cooking brisket, smells soooo good.
Also an introvert, I prefer to sit back and watch.
"You should not let setbacks crush your spirit."
I am aware as I get older that living alone is not the best for me. My brain/body need more human IRL interaction. An occasional trip to the stores helps but doesn't do it in the winter when I isolate due to the cold.
That is all.

Sounds good to me! 😊
You asked how I will celebrate next year.
I’ll go back to Texas Roadhouse and hope they have rolls .
Caregiver Appreciation Day is March 3rd. How will you celebrate it next year?
National Caregiver Month is in November, so some people celebrate Caregiver Appreciation Day on November 13th.

devoted this year to loving yourself more?"
"May you attract someone who speaks your language
so you don't have to spend a lifetime translating your soul."
