Mini Rant

The details don't matter.  Today I just had a series of things happen that actually had me holding my head in my hands and telling the wall "I can't *DO* this anymore".

Of course I can, and I will, but....come on already.......it's just ridiculous that this is my life.

    Robert, you aren't the only one going thru that. I think everybody at one time or another feels the same way. With me every almost every thing I tried to do in the last 3 months didn't work  I finally had to turn her care over to someone else.

    I hope things work out better for you and yours.  This forum works if we let it. Good advice freely given by others who have experienced what we are currently going thru.  I wish I had used their advice way earlier.  Hoot

    I think that is the criteria for being in this club. Herding cats would be way easier.

    Robert, I was thinking similarly this morning, wondering how long I can keep doing this.  Of course, there’s no answer except, ‘till I can’t.’
    I guess we don’t know where our limits lie until we reach them.  
    Hang in there.  We get it.
