How are things going with MIL?
She continues to decline, but is still in her home. My daughter sees her 3 days a week to bring her food and get her out for a walk if she will go. Sheโ€™s not as volatile with her, soโ€ฆmy husb is less tense, knowing the neighbors will watch and call, the sheriffโ€™s dept is aware, as is Adult Protective Services, and the hospital social worker. So, we wait for the other shoe to dropโ€ฆ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€ฆI myself am constantly at a moderately tense level, except at night, when I can self-medicate.

***LABOR DAY***

AM- awake at 8:30am (PDT) after 9 hours of sleep๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿคฉ. I stayed up late talking to my husb, who spent eight hours in the ER with his mother after finding her in bed yesterday. She said she fell and hit her head and didnโ€™t feel good. After all the fighting to get her there, they did a bunch of tests, found nothing to be broken or wrong, except she was probably dry/dehydrated. She was nasty and hateful to him the entire time. Once he got her home and back to bed, he left to stay at my daughterโ€™s. This morning, he is checking in on her before coming homeโ€ฆ.

Sooo much green :gotthis:
I figured out that currently, if I do the yoga on the heels of my workout, itโ€™s more likely to get done. Can no longer depend on my husb to want to do it at the PM time slot. And, Iโ€™ve been working with my doggo and/or on the phone with my daughter during that time. This way, I still get *something* done in the yoga department, even if itโ€™s short๐Ÿ˜Š
