Ahhhh... Time to relax!

I bet Peps is tired after traveling home. I am pretty exhausted after our flight here to Madrid. We left at 10:30 pm last night and landed at 11 am Madrid time. A bit of confusion figuring out where to meet our prearranged driver but we found him finally. We were at the apartment by 1 and had done some minor food shopping by 3.
SIL is wiped out even after having a wheelchair in the airports. She just has no stamina partially because her medications have made her unable to eat much at all lately. I'm surprised she made it but we are here.
The apartment seems to be convenient to many things. It is clean and spacious with good amenities except it is very modern and the only upholstered furniture in the living room is one couch which SIL needs to be able to lie down on. My other SIL and I have to sit on hard dining room chairs.
Not sure what we will do the rest of the day. Maybe just try to stay awake enough to make it to dinner, then crash afterwards. We just decided we should pick a restaurant now while we still have some faculties.
Have a thinking Thursday!
PS: I watched Wicked on the plane and enjoyed it way more than I ever expected to.

Your aunt is so lucky to have you and I know you are glad to be there to help

Hi everyone from Amherst. My Aunt is doing well, but needs a great deal of assistance, so I'm glad we're here. Our flight Monday was uneventful, but it really killed me to get up at 4:30am. I'm not made for that! We spent the night with DD, and then Tuesday, drove to Amherst. My Aunt is able to walk with a walker, but needs assistance in all transfers in and out of bed, to the toilet, to her wheelchair if she wants to sit up. So it's been busy. I will sleep in their condo tonight, while DH enjoys the peace and quiet of the guest suite they have rented for us in their building.
That's all I have, not much in the way of excitement. As she heals more and can sleep for longet periods, (right now it's about 2 hour increments) I will probably get some reading done.
I would be furious too! And I feel your pain. It is a hard thing to live with. Seeking advice from a therapist is a great idea.
Hard to "like" this post, but boy do I understand your frustration and anger. I, like you, have my own mess, but it is contained to my space. When Ron's clutter goes into the guest room, all hell breaks loose! I can't hang. The only benefit is that because it i usually all his mess, he is in charge of making it guest ready, which he does beautifully.
Yet another tasty sounding dinner!

So sorry - the tendency to hoard does seem to sneak up on some people over time. Difficult behavior to change but not under their control emotionally. Hard not to be angry (I would be too). Good luck!

Oh no! Sorry about the guest room surprise. Hopefully DH will at least help clean it up! I would be angry too!
