I don't know. Probably the wrong group. [View all]

I'm 83 my husband is 85. I used to be able to do everything.
I want to do everything but lately I'm just not into it.
I've cleaned the house, washed clothes, cooked for 58 years of marriage.
I'm not ill or weak. I can still do , but I'm really tired of it.
I have really enjoyed making quilts for charity. Enjoyed fabric and colors. Probably still do.
But, if I had the energy right now I would box everything up and give it all away.
I walked past a pile of my finished quilts and thought I should ... who knows

Today I have just lost something in myself. If I told anyone else they would just think I'm whiny and I probably am.

Next month I'm supposed to go to a retreat with 30 quilting friends most I've known for 20+ years. I can't not go because going would be a really good thing for me.

I'll be better later.

Actually I'm really pissed because husband and I hired my daughters significant other to make us a new front porch , he is 3/4 through and it looks good.
Now he is sick and I will have to hear husband say how he knew there would be a screw up .

I just had to say all this. I am not mistreated in any way. Just tired.
