Didn't wear the right coat

Hello again

I was thinking of wearing my heavy coat, but decided against it. What a mistake that was. There was very cold, for us, plus allot of wind. I was cold. I even had an extra sweater with me, didn't help much on the way home.

And it was the opposite in the mom's place. To hot. Better than being cold. So I got their a little early and mom loved this. More time for her.

Made her a new smoothie today, and mom likes it when it is on the colder side. So when I am finished making it, I put it in the freezer. And being cold today, it stayed that way. I spoon it into her mouth.

I gave her allot of drink this evening. Very thirsty. And since it was a holiday today, we didn't have to go find a place to eat dinner. Usually on Tuesday we eat in the room. But this new roommate doesn't seem to get out of bed, or she is put in bed before dinner. Now we have no privacy at all. We have to close the curtains.

Anyways, I was able to get mom a burger. Not been flush for the last week. I think if it wasn't for GOD I would not be able to bring mom a dinner, each of these nights. I haven't had much for myself, but I don't care about myself. Only that mom gets a nice meal each night. And this has been happening each day. All these nights I have been thinking of what I will bring for mom the next day. Then just let it happen. Which it did.

It will all work out this week. I am sure of it.

Mom, as usual, was ready for bed, right after dinner. I got her changed as quickly as possible. But mom gets anxious and impatient. I don't do well being rushed. Usually when rushed I slow right down. I didn't do this or try not to do this around mom. But I do have to let her know, I am going as fast as I can. And repeat to her that I am injured and it takes me a little longer.

The  rest is what we always do. The spa treatment, The washing. The exercising of her legs. Tonight it took mom a little longer to fall asleep. I was their for her.

The music tonight was very relaxing. Kept a smile on mom's face. I just held her hand and listen to music. I left later than usual and made it home tonight even earlier than normal. Go figure.

It was a nice day. Though cold, still a nice day.

GOD bless and good night.
