Travel 5 days agoMy vacation was devine. To be so far away from caregiving provided the respite that I needed to refresh going into the darker days of the year. -

Sports 5 days agoAlthough my Cubbies aren’t in the playoffs, I love this time of year. Baseball playoffs are so much fun to me. Tons of strategy — and it takes my mind off of caregiving.

Perspectives 5 days agoOMG…the devastation that Hurricane Helene has caused is so sad. It’s obvious Mother Nature has caused many challenges to people overall, including caregivers being able to attend to loved ones. I’m wishing every caregiver, every person best wishes as they navigate the aftermath. 🙏
