A cold crisp day

Hello again

It was a beautiful crisp day today, and now it is raining. What a drag. I am OK with rain. I like it. I like the sound of it, I like the freshness.

It was another day of GOD's miracles. Thank you GOD

And being Saturday, mom was in bed, as it was her bath day. Once a week is all they give her a bath. Thank GOD I wash her every night and wash her hair every other day.

But when I get their on Saturdays mom is extremely hot and very thirsty. She can't wait until I get the drinks unpacked and give them to her. The same today as each day, but Saturdays are worse.

I gave her drinks and then dinner. I am not understanding, this week mom has been more hungry than usual.  She is eating what I bring plus the served dinner. Then dessert. And after dessert she wants more to eat. More dinner. By this time she has finished what I brought and if there is anything left on the tray, it has already been picked up. So I find something for her.

And tonight the morning staff did not change her sheets again. So I changed her sheets and then her nightgown. I am becoming very proficient at changing her sheets.

Which then followed by her spa treatment. On Saturdays, when she finishes her dinner and I finish her spa treatment. Mom was ready for sleep. I stayed, holding her hand while she fell asleep.

I left a little early, but I needed to get home early to do mom's laundry. So I am not up to late. I also want to watch a movie. But it doesn't seem like I will be able to do that tonight. It is already after midnight and I still have things to do.

Need to go..

GOD bless and good night
