Our Winter is beginning

Hello again

Well tonight it is -7 c and it is snowing. Not snow as they have back east. That would shut this city completely down. Even 10 cm would do allot of damage to Vancouver and surrounding areas. The Lower Mainland

And on the way home this evening, I could see it was lighter over my area. Meaning it was already snowing here, when I left White Rock. Spoke with my landlord and he told me that it started snowing around 7 pm. Nothing in White Rock though.

We will see tomorrow.

So it was Black Friday, really there were not that many great deals. I wanted a pair of pants that I saw yesterday, but wanted to wait until today. Same price, no discount. Really. I'll wait until they are on sale. Probably next week. Did get a pair of fleece bottoms for $5.00. Needed them as the bottoms I change into when I get home at night, were scrubs and no matter how tight I tie them, they always fall down. Made for a frustrated night. Every night and every morning.

Mom was in a great mood today, but tired. So dinner was longer than expected. As she will just chew and chew, but not swallow for a long time. It looks like she is full and so I ask her if she is full and wants dessert. She nodes yes, so I put everything away and throw what she didn't eat out. Then after mom eats her dessert, she is still hungry. I have nothing left to give her Until we get back to her room.

I had to throw mom's smoothie out, as the Rec therapist had the fridge turned down to 3. Not cold enough. I turned it up and will do it again if it gets turned down again. This is to keep the food safe.

We finished dinner and I washed her hair and tried to use the curling iron, but I have no idea how to use one.

My Internet just went out again, 4 times this week. Just stops working, even thought the router has the flashing light telling me it is operational. I have to go upstairs and re-set the router.

So mom`s hair was a little curly, but not so much. Looked good anyways.

We got her changed and into bed. She was ready for sleep. Mom does not nap during the day. So by the time she has her dinner, listening to soft music and getting a nightly spa treatment, she is ready for sleep. I am glad I can do these things for her. It makes me feel good about myself, that I am helping someone out. Don`t get me wrong. If it were not for mom raising me with values and to be this way. It is mom who deserves all the praise for raising me to be like this. To take care of her, without hesitation.

Got her stereo turned on and sang to her. Then just stood there with her for a while, as she fell off to a deep sleep.

Getting late again so I need to eat and get some sleep. I have to be up early again tomorrow, well today.

GOD bless and good night
