Think I have the calorie plan finally coming into view, that might actually WORK for this crazy clergy schedule. Duh, it felt like I was 2 people, and I am and will eat accordingly. I AM eating for 2, but they are both in one body/24 hour time period and each gets a shift to eat for. If I were diabetic, I'd have gotten all this via nurse ed. I'm not.

Have added preferred calorie count to fone alarms so I can do what I told myself to do.

Liking that DHA!

Was out of one BP med so took the bad one in a higher dose for a few days, but am now back on the right mix and the bad one is clearing quickly.

I've been setting up eldercare planning for my mom the same way Hardi and I do with parishioners' families. We found that missing third party coordinator among extended family members-- the Californy fam who is caring for Mom now has no clergypeeps/social svcs peeps involved. We have equipped all parties now with the best text available on levels of care/fam decision-making etc.... . They will all have had it to read/reference by the time my adult son arrives to proxy for me when the fam mtg for my mom happens in March.

That "third" person-- not pt., not fam, not profit-minded facility rep-- is really important for the elderperson to get the best care. TBTG we have great ones here in the local Area Agency on Aging! They know to raise the important questions not being covered, as we've seen with our band's founder... it's tricky networking-in the Californy counterparts from this coast!
