Both Memphises!
Does that mean illegal immigrants are job creators?
You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.
Yes, but dealing with frustrations is frustrating.
About 18x8 inches. Not to worry, I have a classroom-sized whiteboard as a backup.
If she has trouble remembering if she's taken the meds, I highly recommend TimerCaps. They are a pill bottle lid that tells you how long it's been since the bottle was opened.
We have several at my house-- I can check and see if my partner has drugged the dog or if I've taken my ADHD meds. My partner can also see if I've taken my meds.
I have a whiteboard on my desk. It's the only effective "to do" list I've found, for me. It's covered in chicken scratching. I erase stuff as I do them.
And some of us can't get back to sleep easily if we turn on the big light at 3 am.
If it helps any, those memes go straight over my head.
I just picked up some "Top of the Morning" coffee and it's pricey, but the marketing is very cheerful and it ticks the "ethically sourced" boxes for me, as much as anything I buy online can. Plus, it's tasty.

Image description: Item is an unglazed terra cotta tire. It looks a bit dirty or sooty, but is clearly still yellow-tan. It depicts a 3d scene of a man with long hair, a hat with big feather, and tunic. The man is sitting on a lion and holding open a lion's mouth. Behind the man and lion is a stone (or brick) wall about waist high. Above it is an archway. Outside the archway is a floral decoration.

According the the Met Museum, coconuts were exotic to Europeans and a cup made from a coconut could be used to neutralize poisons.
Image description: Tall silver and coconut goblet with lid. The bowl is made of most of a coconut, the base, stand, and lid of the goblet are made of silver. The coconut is engraved with biblical scenes, including Samson holding open a lion's mouth. Cherubs look on and there's filigree. There are also silver rams and roman? soldiers connecting the silver base and the top of the goblet.

Image description: Oil painting framed in an ornate floral frame. The painting is of a black-haired woman sitting on a wooden travel trunk or bench. Next to her is a lion cub. Another cub is cradled in the woman's lap and she bottle-feeds it. In the background there is a cage on wheeled (like for an old-timey traveling circus) with three adult lions in it--2 female and 1 male. The adult lions are watching the cubs. On the ground nearby is a black metal contraption that might be a food bowl on an arm, so that the adult lions can be fed from outside the cage, and the bowl retrieved.

I'm happy to do the straightforward jobs that if I mess up I'm just inconvenienced. Changing the kitchen faucet? If that gets stalled halfway, I'm doing dishes in the bathroom sink for a bit. (TBH I wish I was 3 inches narrower because my undersink area has a divider between the doors and it was an uncomfortably close fit, including moving 1 boob through the space at a time, not fun).
Electrical? I'll swap out GFCI outlets but if that doesn't fix the problem I'm calling a professional.
Painting? Sure, good excuse to get a nice step ladder.
Anything I get stumped on or which takes more equipment than I can fit in my closet (chimney sweep, carpet replacement) gets hired out.
Am considering doing the flooring in my laundry closet, will probably hire it out because I don't want to deal with moving big stuff.
Am very glad we can afford to do these things instead of deferring maintenance. Am also very glad we were lucky enough to be able to buy a condo when we did. Our mortgage+hoa fee today is 2/3 what rent on our old place is today, and we build equity. And this is a 15-year mortgage, which makes the rent comparison even worse.
