My spouse use to cook dinners, but a couple of over salted mashed potatoes caused her to lose that job. The other night she was washing the dishes by hand. I explained why we had a dishwasher, to sanitize the dishes and flatware. So I've taken over that chore too. It is like having two teenagers in the house again.

I've told myself that there will probably be a time I will look into 'visiting angels' and I've already spoke to her brother and sister about where the best care home would be located and work out best for all concerned. I have a fantasy of flying to Scotland and touring in a rented car for a week. Planning for the future helps to keeps me sane.
