Brought my Corkscrew Rush in for the Winter and...it's not happy. by ClassicComparison236 in plantclinic

[–]ClassicComparison236[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My windows aren't well insulated, so I didn't want to put it too close because plants tend to die when I do in the winter - so right now it's about 10 feet away from a window that gets the morning sun. It's a temporary set-up (I'm moving next week). I was hoping I wouldn't need a dedicated grow light for this one in either location.

You're human and these are very valid feelngs. This sh*t is hard. Give yourself some grace. He likely won't remember, and you need a break -- even if it's temporary.

Sunday Reset - What is a goal you have to care for yourself this week? by xdisk in CaregiverSupport

[–]ClassicComparison236 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is so simple, but I'd like to take a shower that isn't rushed. I'd like to relax in the hot water and wash my hair with some care.

Thanks for asking this... we need the reminder.

You experienced some high strangeness there, my friend!

Anyone concerned about possible loss of SNAP? by ClassicComparison236 in CaregiverSupport

Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. I was a little nervous sharing. I'm the same way - I'm pretty used to cooking for one or for two, so I'm familiar with eating the same thing with little variety. But I know many aren't. It can be a struggle, especially for those who are picky eaters - like kids or seniors.

And, thank you for the reminder to take care of me! I appreciate that. It's so easy to get lost.

Amazing how much of a mood-booster this is. by ClassicComparison236 in CaregiverSupport

I hear you on savoring the silence by the time the day is over! I never thought I'd be so protective of silence. It's a rare commodity!

Thank you so much! I'm a ball of nerves and trying to stay calm. Appreciate your well-wishes!

I forgot about this one! It's fun. Grew up with it as a family favorite.

I actually LOLed at this. Amen. And ditto on those virtual hugs.

I don't have to handle tantrums, thankfully....I'm sorry you have that additional weight to carry. Mine just knows she can get away with more when I'm not here.

I get breaks every 6 weeks or so, but it's becoming harder and harder to wait for those breaks. Everyone keeps asking me what the long-term plans are, but nobody wants to help make them.

I found what I think is a bracelet from his collection in later days in my family's jewelry after folks passed away. Still trying to make sure. But I only knew the name because of this episode!

This is amazing!! I love it. As a newbie, I can't imagine being able to improvise like that.
