    I need this shirt.  May 2021 has been hell.  Don’t think June will be any better.

    Fill up the tank? All those folks that are "going" to be helpful actually stepping up.

    With the respite stay, I filled the tank. I was patient during …10 days ! Since Saturday patience is lost again and I feel worse than before the respite stay. Now I must try to hold on till the end of July when his brother will welcome him... 2 months

    I like wine, but it doesn’t help me.

    I don’t know what would help me : real holidays ? Having somebody caring for me ? Having time to do long walks every day ?

    For the moment, I just count days till the next respite.

    We could recycle our advent calendar with one encouraging word or compliment everyday : «  you are the best », « today you à deserve more chocolate » ...

    But instead we get a fortune cookie that says "That wasn't chicken."

    I like the advent calendar idea.   When we were kids we wrote things like that on a paper thing we folded and then played chanting games to choose which window to open up.

    A friend writes down things that made her happy that day and puts them in a jar.  Once in a while she empties the jar and reads them again.  Little things like "Sunshine on my shoulder"

    I laughed out loud at that. I could use that shirt.

    Patience isn’t my strong suit.

    Love the shirt! I swear my late mum sent DH's dementia down to teach me a lesson. She frequently used to say to me "A, patience is not your strongest virtue." And she was right. But boy did I ever have to learn it!
