Wow! I am glad to find you guys again. I am in another chat at another site and I got confused on how to find my way back here. I am going to put the link for that site in a post later today.
Things are going fairly well here. My husband is sleeping almost 18 hours a day and seems content. There are subtle changes in him. Our daily schedule changes on a dime. I may have mentioned that we HAD to eat around 5 p.m. Now we eat as late as 8 p.m. He has shifted in the foods he wants to eat, AGAIN. Other than that we are definitely in a low part of the FTD ups and downs. FTD symptoms are strange and varied.
I am kinda going with the flow. I am home a great deal but don't get much done. Logically, my house should be spotless and I should be reading books and watching television. I can go out and do errands, shop etc. I don't go any further than 15 minutes from our house. In an effort to take better care of myself I have joined Weight Watchers. YIKES! I plan to begin a simple walking program today. Just little areas of my life that need adjustment and will help me to feel better in general.
Gosh, I am so sleepy this morning. I am going to sign off now and go make my hubby breakfast.

Yay! I found my way back to this site!

@anncgrl It sounds like you are adapting to a new normal in your life which changes on a regular basis. It is good to hear that you are taking good care of yourself. Glad to hear that you found your way back to Mayo Connect. Best wishes. Teresa

Glad you found your way back to Connect, Ann.
Congrats on joining Weight Watchers and putting a simple walking program in place. Good for you. For me a quick walk in the early morning light sets me up best. I find it hard to squeeze in later in the day.

I suspect morning is going to be the time for me to exercise also. If I wait too long I end up making excuses until it is too late in the evening to exercise. Thank you for your support.

Ditto. Sometimes the day gets so busy, I say "Shucks, I didn't even get a walk done." Then I remember I did go for a walk early in the morning and it makes me smile. The morning seems like it was eons ago.
Today is a lucky day. I'm going to go for a second walk right now in the falling snow.
