(5,141 posts)She has an interest in Irish history (she was born there) but only in the most basic sense. The only thing we really have in common is gardening...except I do my own and she has gardeners do it for her. She seemed to have a interest in one of my other hobbies - painting/repurposing old furniture - because I told her I find it therapeutic (apart from the recycling aspect and the fact that it yields wonderful results, but it really is like therapy for me) and one day she excitedly called me to say she had found a piece she was going to try to do over. She asked me a bunch of questions, seemed really keen and several days later she told me that it came out really well. Through the course of the conversation I learned that she had her handyman do all the work.
She wont read because shes been complaining that she needs to have her prescription changed...and shes used that excuse for years. She wont go for a walk because she says she is afraid shell fall (?). She literally sits all day on the internet and watching Fox.
