Movies 1 day agoI just saw that the new Gladiator movie is coming out in November. I’m so excited since the first one is a favorite of mine. Being a caregiver can sometimes leave me feeling like a gladiator. 😉

Ok, here’s my new crush! Perhaps he will be another caregiving companion and Skip will like him. 🤞

I’m heading to NYC for Thanksgiving, which is right around the corner. It will feel strange leaving my clients, but so looking forward to seeing family! My uncle has Alzheimer’s that has progressed, so I’m not sure how that will feel as a caregiver. Will I want to step in? Will I be okay just being the nephew?
