Sorry guys, I haven't been on in a bit. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions and health issues this fall and winter.
My 92 y.o. mom is suffering from early symptoms of dimensia and I had to spend an extended amount of time with her and my dad. They live on the opposite coast, so no real access to my computer and files. Things were really bad while I was there, she said my sister and cousins were stealing from her. She accused my wife of 38 years of trapping me into marriage and having a child before we were married because her sister is 18 years her younger. That was a breaking point for me and I did something I still regret, I was angry and I yelled at her and told her she was a liar. I apoligized before I left, but still feel the pain to this day. While I was there, just before leaving I got very sick, I had gotten respiratory syncytial virus, which literally put me out of commision for almost a month. After I returned home, my wifes coworkers are just selfish, one came to work with children all diagnosed with Covid and they didn't tell anyone. Both my wife and I contracted Covid, but fortunately for us, it only lasted a week. Everything is almost back to normal now. I guess this is what it is like being a senior citizen now in the U.S. with a broken healthcare system and people who no longer show any empathy toward one another.
I really hope that 2024 is a much better year.
