"Worry about nothing, but pray about everything..."
My youngest daughter experienced anxiety and depression, so last summer she began taking antidepressant meds. And while she had a very successful semester at university, she is having difficulty with increased appetite which is causing weight gain. Lately, she has been watching "My 600 Pound Life," and I'm wondering if there is some significance it that, even though she weighs 150 or so. I also remind her that she is underage and to not drink or smoke pot, but I feel that this is falling on deaf ears. She came in early am, and I heard a crash in the bathroom, and this morning the wax seal on the toilet appears to be broken or the tank is loose, as water is pouring out of the base of the toilet. On my other daughter's 21st birthday and legal drinking day, she pulled down the shower curtain as she fell in the tub. So, I am concerned and am trying not to worry, but turning to prayer. And I pray that my son will find the right person to share his life. You know my husband's issues, arthritis, heart disease, tiredness, shortness of breath and memory issues. I did take my friend to her eye appointment and she has cataracts and needs surgery. The appointment lasted 4 hours, she missed her van ride home, I had to drive her 12 miles home and then back home. Of course, I had to fill the car with gas as I didn't plan to drive so many miles and the low gas indicator chimed. Once home, I fixed dinner and cleaned up and opted out of hapkido. Surprisingly, my sister and her husband understood because they had days like this with his mom. I am working on repairing a string of Christmas lights and a net. It's not because I want to save money, but because my Dad gave me both sets and the pink lights are my son's favorite. My sister mentioned researching palliative care help for my mother. She said the definition of palliative care is that the "person will not improve." We had someone from care come to the house a couple years ago, and it was a "no go" so doesn't seem like we would get help now. My Dad is concerned that he can only pay for aides for my mother for two more years.
