breathe, just breathe
Comments (21)Why don't I take my Mom out? She can hardly walk from the living room to the kitchen, a little stooped over. Her lungs have been smoked out over 52 years and are now riddled with emphysema and rheumatoid arthritis. I don't drive. Our weather of late hovers at -7 to -20 with the windchill. She is extremely frail and it takes door to door heated vehicle and a wheelchair to go to the doctors. If my Mom stood at the door in this weather for more than a moment her breathing seized up. I wish I could just pop her in a wheelchair and take her out but in this weather it's risky for pneumonia at the very least. Last summer I tried taking her out just for a walk around the garden or a ride in the wheelchair - it just about killed her in her state. (We still kept trying though). I think my Mom's overall health is actually picking up at my sisters. Mentally, she see's her grandsons everyday and they are thrilled to have her living with them. Physically she can breathe because there is no carpeting and of course 'hazmat control' for dirt/dust. She is getting more exercise and I noticed because her breathing has improved she is walking more around the house and walking steadier. After all is said and done - I'm settling down to a more peaceful home life. Mom is happy and doing well. That's all I want. Both of us happy. It's the silver lining in this whole clouded affair. As for SISTER - I can't fix her problems. She really needs a doctor and a long rest. She has careered herself over the top to executive level and has OCD at home - she'll never relax in life unless she takes the time to take care of herself and learn to breathe again. She has been like this ever since I can remember. We've been banging heads since we were VERY young children. I honest feel sorry for her. So, I'm picking my feet up, shaking out the cobwebs and reminding myself to start enjoying life's little pleasures again. My grow lights in the basement have a million seedlings popping their heads up now - I'm a very proud Mama! New gardening books to read. Taking the time to find old friends and making contact as a treat to myself. Have a part time job (seasonal) to work with an exterior landscaping firm to plant garden beds in the spring/change them in the fall/do xmas decorations for corporate businesses - out of that I have made a new friend who shares so many similar interests its almost scary....including having not long ago putting her aging mother in a care home (alzheimers). Day to day I'm striving to breathe, just breathe again. It feels good. LOL to all of you, Peggy...See MoreGive Your Opinion on Exterior House Color: BM 'Winds Breath'?
Comments (14)Here's an interesting factoid. I had SW tell me what color is most like the color that's been on this house since I owned it (3 yrs now). I had an actual paint sample, right out of the can, albeit dried into the shape of the bottom of the can (heh). The existing color is/was very close to SW "Crushed Ice." And I'm tempted to use it again since it's slightly grayish but still very neutral. The SW rep suggested "Super White" for the trim as he said that's perfect for exterior use and has really good coverage. And THANK YOU Lindybarts, teachbls, and everyone else who is offering feedback and opinions. Keep 'em coming!...See MoreBenjamin Moore White Dove Doors, Trims, Ceiling & Wind's Breath Walls
Comments (2)@Beverly Would Simply White for ceiling and trim be a better choice? For the main color of the house, I'm also debating between BM Calm vs. Wind's Breath. I'm having European white oak light color hardwood floor, which main wall color would look better....See MoreNeed Advice on Benjamin Moore's Wind's Breath
