Hey, yeah, it’s me. WiserAngel. Older, fatter, grayer, tireder. Still snarky.
So, let’s get caught up, shall we? Moved my folks to be closer to us in 2020. Three months later, mom had a stroke. Six months later, she died of cancer, January 16, 2021. We inherited Poppy who had started showing signs of dementia. He was still able to live somewhat alone in a retirement community, but without mom, he started losing ground quickly. We moved him in with us last year, but soon had to place him in a nursing home with memory care services. Wait, I’m missing some stuff.

What a nice surprise to see my favorite shit-stirrer back! I miss us insulting the hell out of each other.
I had no idea she had so much going on. Some of it, yes. Most of it, no. Especially the financial problems over the Medicaid fiasco.
Over the past 4 years or so, we kinda sorta lost contact. We stayed in touch every few months with a flurry of emails over a one or two day period, but nothing like it was in the past with me, Lisa and her emailing a couple times a day.
Her daughter's death took the wind out of her sails, and she started to withdraw. That's perfectly understandable, then she started getting hit with even more of Life's fuckery. She had moved to Borger, then had to go back to work because of financial problems, leaving her husband to take care of her other autistic daughter. All that's covered in much more detail in the link above.
Please folks, go to her link and give her some positive feedback to let her know she does have friends that care and would like to see a return to her blogging.
And as long as you're there, click the link at the bottom of her post and toss a few bucks her way. I know it flat out kills her to ask, but I also know it would be very much appreciated even though she's asking for a very modest amount.
And if you need another incentive to go to the link to her blog, the post right below that one is a birthday greeting to me 5 years ago when I turned 60, complete with a picture of me in a diaper and holding a doll. I'll never forgive my mother for sending her that picture.
