Had one die at around 5 am once. I panicked and called my dad to come before work so he could bring a ladder and battery. He brought three dead batteries. I have no car and no mental health to deal with that sound. After he left I got the kids up and out the door for school. Called apartment manager and they had no batteries after a few months before telling me they have to change them and not us. Then saying I had to. So had to Uber to CVS and buy batteries to change it. I cannot handle that sound and will do about anything to stop it.

I'm recovering from surgery and then emergency surgery and all I'm seeing lately is people enjoying thanksgiving and I have almost no appetite and just want to shove my face into some turkey. Thankful to be alive and still have functional kidneys at least so Happy Thanksgiving all. At least my husband made some chocolate balls. I always can find room in my tummy for that.
