Caregiving and Mental Stimulation

Hi V,
I know I listened to the radio in the past, but I got tired of listening to it.  I prefer to listen to music in the car, since driving is a chore, very often.
 
I could detail my car, as a treat, and then feel more comfortable in it, since it feels like work.

Hi Hugs, 

It sounds like you feel stuck at the moment.  Is there a way you can compromise or include the intellectual stimulation in your daily routine?  What about listening to discussions or lectures or watching documentaries regarding something that interests you?
What are some ideas you have?
I imagine it is hard not to feel guilty, however, as you mentioned in a different post, you also have needs to keep yourself happy & healthy.  What would be your ideal situation taking into consideration your role as a caregiver?

Being so tired from daily errands, I find I still have a thirst for intellectual stimulation, with the limits of resources and guilt that what I do, takes away from my parent.   I feel such a void, and feel like I'm in a desert.
 
I suppose I just have to suck it up, since it could be worse.
