Hello again
Yes it is cold everywhere else but here in Vancouver, BC Canada. But it it cold to me. No long sleeve shirts. No winter jacket. I am cold. The landlord keeps turning down the heat.
It has been ruff for the last week, since I was robbed. No groceries, but I am able to go see mom daily. Nothing is changing this way. Which is good. I can't miss any days, mom counts on my being their.
Mom was very tired tonight, I was able to scrounge some cash together( I took a bunch of empties in, and made mom meatballs and lemon rice. Well she didn't like the rice and ate a few of the meatballs. I am an excellent cook, but I find it hard to make moist meatballs. I have tried many different methods, but still dry.
When mom is very tired, she is not that hungry. They served roast beef and mashed potatoes, plus squash. Mom only ate a little bit of that dinner. I did, manage to get mom to eat the papaya and allot of her smoothie. She only ate 1/2 a avocado, this is when I know she is tired and not hungry.
So I did the dishes and brought her to her room. I changed the entire bedding tonight. Put the cleaned Duvet cover on the comforter, changed the sheets and pillow cases. So mom got into a cleaned and fresh bed. I could see that she was happy and comfortable and she seemed very warm.
The nurse brought mom her nightly medicine early, so I gave mom the drinks she likes before I leave. After this, it was lights out for mom. Dead tired and fell fast asleep, quickly. I put some of her fresh washed clothing away, took down some more of the Christmas decorations, packed up and then stood their and held her hand for half an hour while I made sure she was fast asleep before I left
She looked very comfortable and peaceful.
Myself I am writing this eating crackers, which is my dinner. When finished I am just going to watch a few shows, that I just downloaded and hopefully fall asleep early. Even if it is just falling asleep on top of the bed at first.
I really need to find a place in White Rock.
You know, I have been trying to solve the theft problem. But there seems to be know one, or agency who actually cares. They tell me to go to the food bank. Well I do and they haven't opened up yet. Next week is the first week of the new year.
Anyways no one cares, so why write about it................
GOD Bless and good night
