My five year old nephew swallowed a quarter last Friday that got stuck in his esophagus, so he got to experience an ambulance ride for the first time. He was fine but ugh. That’s my future with DS, i am sure of it. Oh yikes, that must have been terrifying but I’m glad he’s okay now.

I feel like I have been on the brink of getting sick for like 5 days. It isn't going away and it isn't getting worse.... as I type this I wonder if I have allergies, but a few people at work were sick last week so, a mystery I guess. Well I jinxed myself and I how have a full blown cold, plus DS spent the whole night on the couch with a headache.

Out for a walk with the little kid and splurged for a latte and a mochi muffin at the local coffee shop. It has such a lovely neighborhood coffee shop vibe but I don’t have regular neighborhood coffee shop money.

My dad fell in the middl of the night last night, and hit his head/side of his head. They had a ct scan at the ER and found a hematoma behind his eye, so he needs to see some specialists. And he's in a lot of pain.
I am at the airport, my mom said not to come but I can't be all the way up here and him be hurting. And she sounded really shaky and upset, and my sister has little ones so I need to be there.
This is just me being sad. I'm not ready for my parents to age. It's like this thing you "know" will happen but you never think ever will. And now it's here and I hate it.

Sending good thoughts STP. I wouldn’t be able to not come either. My dad is getting up there as well and it’s tough.

Oh gosh STP, I'm glad it wasn't worse. I hear you on not being ready for aging parents. My dad has been having kidney issues on top of his long-term blood disease issues and it's taken a toll on him over the last 6 months, and it's been so difficult to watch my normally strong dad struggling.

Sending positive thoughts, STP. I've dealt with this with my mom and my MIL and I can agree and attest that you are never, ever ready for this phase. I've never wanted to turn back the clock more.

Why do I have a Christmas Levi add at the bottom of the page?
Saw on pinterest someone making strawberries cream cheese in the oven. Then adding chocolate chips, stir up and add pasta Wtf?
Why does my grocery store always have buy one get one or buy 2 save $5 on soda and chips But never on veggies or apples?
That's the extent of my brain functioning this day so far
Moved this to right thread so that's how my day is.

I'm so sorry STP. Aging parents are so hard to navigate. I'm glad you're going. You'll feel better being there and your family could definitely use the support.

Safe travels @stp. I hope your dad ends up in a best case scenario situation; ditto everyone else who commented on how hard it is to watch our parents age.

I'm hopped up on The Good Sudafed so feeling ok for now. H had a really tough physical job at work yesterday so last night we were both a hot mess. Hoping today will be better but we decided on pizza tonight just in case we're both out of commission again.
Also the dogs were exceptional assholes this morning and tried to eat my H's eye drops.
