Hi y'all! I have no power... went off some time around 1am last night. My road and part of our parking lot is currently flooded, but it didn't reach us. Rain has stopped for now, and even some of the pavement is drying out. Still pretty windy though! I know other areas of Clay county got hit harder and the lakes overfilled. So I'll count my blessings.

Gordy is being his usual self. Boy was it hard to TFS with no lights! Flashlights only assist so much LOL.
 
I'm glad you are safe. I hope you get your power back soon. I found out a headlamp is great for testing with no power. My first low green I had to test by flashlight and candlelight.
 
Testing, shooting by candle and flashlight is defintely hard. Glad to hear that's the worst of it for you. Hope the insulin stays cool.
 
PMPS 178

Still no power. :mad: The power company said it could be up to a WEEK. Thats crap. I live in the most populated area of my county so hopefully they can get their you know what together.

Meanwhile... my grandma and her rudeness is causing me to be rude. I am suppose to sit and let her boss me arouns without please and thank you? No. I was raised both sides need to be respectful. I could type out my recent stories, but i am trying to conserve battery :rolleyes:
 
Oh, no! Not a week. They will probably get you back and going faster than that.

Sorry about your grandmom being rude. These elders can get rather cranky. :rolleyes:
 
well pixelphooey....
sounds like you aren't having such a good day....

my last 2 years with my dgm... weren't so dear....
she was downright mean and I just had to remind myself constantly that I had all those years of her devotion so it was my turn to devote to her.
I'm pretty sure as a rude kid I wasn't saying please or thank you.... and they didn't require it of me.

Good point Rhiannon.
 
I was raised to have manners from a young age.

Today, for example, she was looking for some notebook. I helped her look and searched the places she has things in my room. I was 100% sure it wasnt in my room. 10 minutes goes by, I decided I wanted to nap (which I let her do undisturbed in the middle of the living room earlier in the day). I was ALMOST asleep when she bursts through practically yellibg that she wants to look for herself. When she saw she woke me up, absolutely no apologies. She got mad at ME for being upset. She knew I laid down for a nap.

She found the notebook 5 minutes later... not in my room.
 
of course, my dgm was 92 and 93 while she behaved this way.
Losing things and getting belligerent are symptoms of dementia ...

my dm, dgm dgf really didn't make me be nice as a kid..... even tho I am now most of the time. They kinda were enablers for me turning out to be a spoiled brat early on. Life has reversed all that over the years with those hard lessons.

Does your gm get worse if you act drippingly sweet in the face of her outbursts? It's hard to learn . I had the hardest time not arguing and correcting
my gm when she said wild far out things, eventually I did learn to just nod and say uh huh and let her live in her imagination. But it was so so hard to do.

My mom and I think she is showing signs of dementia... but she has also been "not all there" so its hard to tell. These anger bursts are getting more frequent. Yesterday she got mad because I asked her to ASK me to do tasks instead of saying passive aggressive statements that make me have to ask her, thus annoying me. I am not a mindreader!

Gordy front:
+1.5=195
I gave him some dry because it helps settle his stomach. I think he ate too fast earlier. I will give him a little more. Our cream colored carpets can't take more vomit tonight... especially with having no lights.

Oh, and the main drag has power... not a lot of places are open though and those that are are packed! Heres the kicker... I live 1/4 of a mile from the main drag. I just wanted hot food =(

you may want to get her to a neurologist that deals with alz /dementia... as soon as you can.
there are tests they perform to see how she does. I just had the tests myself so we have a baseline since I am a 4th generation with those early symptoms.

meanwhile, read these symptoms....

they get angry because they know something is wrong, but aren't able to reason it out.

She is actually going to a neurologist this week (maybe.... if her appt has been canceled =/) but for these mysterious headaches. (I think they are tension headaches.)

I'll def look over the list when i have power again. Thank you! :bighug:
 
there are medications they can give her , if needed, that will help slow it down. When they took my gm off of it, her decline was swift.
Maybe even a small dose of something for the anxiety it causes them to have too.
