WYFP? is our community's Saturday evening gathering to talk about our problems, empathize with one another, and share advice, pootie pictures, favorite adult beverages, and anything else that we think might help. Everyone and all sorts of troubles are welcome. May we find peace and healing here. Won't you please share the joy of WYFP by recommending?
I started this on 13 October knowing that there would be more FPs but they are the same FPs from over a year ago, and not even in different form. It is like expecting a different result with the same procedures...but some of it relates to my frustration with caregiving for my mother who has good and bad days and I continue to look for decent resources for helping me with that, but since she fears interactions with such caregivers, or rather it's a kind of passive-aggressive accommodation or cultural deference as I noted during the hospitalization for her stroke, where they had to put an alarm on her mattress to let the nursing station know that she was getting out of bed without assistance. Of course the watching of TV has been an issue if only because she has lost the ability over the past decade to make cognitive decisions while operating button-driven electronic peripherals like dialing the phone or using the TV remote. Her handwriting is stable, properly spaced with proper sentence construction and letter formation - which is so different than that of my late father or my late spouse toward the end. I unfortunately get to be the proxy TV remote, which I am thinking of delegating to some voice-activated assistance software at some moment when I have the time. Ha-ha, time. My niece seems to be bummed out at the anniversary of her mother's untimely death, and my procrastination continues, even including working on WYFP as well as my usual stand at the Saturday Nutpick-apalooza. OtOH part-time job interviews have appeared to distract me from my main task of finding full-time employment, so yet another week of being distracted by myself and DK will occur...
so come below and tell us what YFPs are....

Perhaps I'll get it together or else discover that perpetual motion is in reality procrastination when viewed under the influence of controlled substances. But then all I have to do is reach for the remote....or write my "Kill Your Television" diaries in DailyKos.
