I dont want to go to a nursing home she said

and I can't make that promise. Do I want to put her in a facility? heck no. Will I have to? Well, the odds say yes. Its not like I have a super big support system here that would help with respite care. Its not like I can quit my job to be a 24/7 caretaker. If we could have afforded that, I would have done it with the babies!

But what did I tell her?

That we'd just have to see how everything works out.

It came up because we were talking to an attorney, about power of attorney and advance directives and all that jazz. It needed to be done before she can't.

She couldnt make a choice about advance directive or end of life decisions. She told me I'd have to make those choices. Thanks. As if this isnt hard enough, but add that on top of it now.

When I came home from work early today to take her to the attorney's office, she had just gotten home from the clubhouse. And turned on the dryer.

On a load of clothes that was already dry.

Set it for 40 minutes.

As if I didnt have enough to worry about. I'm thinking I need to maybe flip the dryer breaker off on the way out? IDK anymore. :(
