The Little Break For A Caregiver

It's heart breaking to see someone I love struggling in an incurable disease.  It's also easy for the entire world to not see my own struggle in caring for someone with an incurable disease on a daily basis.  Even I myself have often failed to see that I'm also a victim of this incurable disease  without havinig it, for now. I say for now, because nobody is immuned to this incurable disease, which can inflict anyone at any point in his/her life, randomly.

As much as I'm not happy about my own sad situation as a caregiver, I'm grateful that I was able to get out of my bed this morning and make my own breakfast.  I'm grateful that I can still afford a little break to  type here...

I Need To Master Anger Management

Image
Today I went to a cafe to get lunch for take out.  May be it's a sunday so the cafe was a lot more crowded than usual.  There were a lot of people standing around waiting to order or waiting for their spouses or family to order.  I personally had never seen a crowd standing in front of the cashier before.  As a caregiver, my mind is always occupied and I often am not mindful at the present as I need to be. Today is just one of those moments when I walked into the cafe, seeing such a big crowd that I had never seen before.  I had no idea where the line ended and I just stood at a spot that I thought was the end of a supposedly queue, waiting.  Suddenly I noticed a guy moved up to my left and he murmured something about the end of a line. I thought he just arrived and asked me if I was standing in line, so I said, "Yes"....  I honestly didn't know exactly what his entire question was about, I just assumed.  My mind was preoccupied with the rest of the errand list of

An Update On The Coronavirus Outbreak

Image
The number changes so quickly even the news outlets on Youtube seem to have a hard time catching up with the latest.  I'm worried of course because there are 2 cases cofirmed in a matter of 2 days where I live.  I've been following this since day one when my friend in Hong Kong started gossiping about this on social media back in November 2019.  I brushed her off back then and told her she followed too much fake news. I just didn't expect it was real and it would get here this fast because it was just last Wednesday that I went to the drug store to buy masks to ship "Express" to my friend in HK when she told me she and her family couldn't find any mask in HK....I went to my local drugstore, emptied the shelf of masks (all made in China), to ship  to Hong Kong. What an irony when Hong Kong is a city of China, and now I can't find masks to buy for myself because everywhere is so far telling me they are pending for re-stocking. Now as I watched China&#

Dentist Whom I Trust: Dr. Garry Lam DDS

  Dr. Gary Lam DDS Dentist Skilled Torrance dentist I went to him during an emergency when one of my veneers that was done by a Beverly Hills dentist fell off. That was a very problematic tooth since the very beginning and its veneer always fell off. I had driven many times to my  Beverly Hills dentist to glue it back on.  But after 5 years of fixing it for me for free, my Beverly Hills dentist no longer wanted to do it for free and was starting to charge me.  I was so sick of that veneer and there was no way I wanted to drive a long way to Berverly Hills to pay big bucks to fix it, particularly when it fell off in the evening.  I went to Dr. Lam the next day and he gave me a permanent fix by putting a beautiful crown on that tooth.  He did a great job on the crown because there was no discomfort and no bite problem.  I could tell he was very skilled because the crown fit perfectly with no bite problem only after one quick adjustment after he put it on.  I had experienced with crowns t
