Saturday morning!

Maybe I don't care how much I weigh.

Let the cartoon begin!

I have all the seasons of "The Good Doctor" on DVDs and enjoy rewatching them from time to time. Interesting plot lines in most weeks, a bit tedious on some themes bordering on soap opera-ish, but good character development and acting. I almost never watch TV drama any more but did/do enjoy that show.

Anyway, last night was watching one episode in which a young man had a dangerous eating disorder developed when his fitness conscious older brother pressured him to lose weight.

I don't have an eating disorder and am not excessively overweight, but like most members of my family, while none are grossly obese, we almost all tend to run heavier than what would be considered the American ideal. (An exception is my Aunt Betty who eats whatever she wants, whenever she wants, but has remained slim and trim and her doctors all encourage her to gain some weight.)

And watching that show last night, it occurred to me that at no time since puberty, have I ever needed or wanted to weigh more than I did/do. :)

Blessed are you who don't have to consider calorie content in the foods you eat. :)
 
For all those with joys we rejoice, and we pray or send positive vibes and keep vigil for those who are struggling.

Harper, SaveLiberty's granddaughter, the inspiration for the vigil list. More surgeries ahead.
Hombre & Foxfyre's son Mike for continued wellness
Beautress for health and wellness.
Gracie for solutions and peace.
Mrs. Saveliberty for healing.
Oddball's mom for continued good health and healing.
Mr. Boedicca for healing
Ringel05' for wellness and healing, his brother Dutch for continued healing.
And all our insomniacs having trouble getting a good night's sleep.
Manonthestreet for successful treatment.
SFC Ollie for comfort in loss of loved ones and for complete successful healing for his daughter.
OhPleaseJustQuit for wellness.
Comfort for TemplarKormac and his father in the loss of TK's beloved grandmother and for a successful transition in living accommodations.
Foxfyre for successful cancer treatment.

And we keep the light on so those who have moved on to other places can find their way back. And we hope they do.

Autumn. The world slows down in autumn as all creatures prepare for the winter ahead.

Dad wants to sell the house if the repairs are too costly. I lived in that house longer, I paid more money to live there. I cared for her, and seemingly the reward I get for that is having my wishes mostly ignored.

"Oh but you were declared incompetent by the courts!" They'll say. Then why was I left to care for her?

I want to keep that house and honor her wishes, but I don't know what else to do. The idea of losing it would be like watching her pass all over again...

Gracie had some good advice. I know she and her husband rented out rooms to good people to help cover their expenses in California. At least until the house was sold out from under them. You and your dad wouldn't have that problem though. And if you get good, enjoyable tenants, renting out a room or two could cover your extra expenses.

That is a thought that has come up in some conversations. If we get to live there, me and Dad, there is one extra room we could rent out.

But we don't even have good numbers for the repairs yet, and we need the money, desperately.
