Not today

Hello again

So I was going to include photo's of all of mom's bruises. But this won't be happening this evening. I first have to download them off of my phone.

But either way, it is not happening this evening. But will in the next few days.

I just don't have it in me today. This morning I had a battle with a hand blender and I lost. Let me explain.

I was about to make my mother her smoothie. So I got out the blender and, what I normally do is attach the blade part first then plug the machine in. But this time I plugged the blender in and then proceeded to attach the blade section. I grabbed the handle, then the blade section and started to attach it. Remember it was plugged in. As soon as I pushed them together. Well it started and chewed up part of the palm of my hand. But I just cleaned it up and put a cloth around it and continued to make mom's smoothie. But using my left hand. No problems there.

Five stitches and a tetanus shot latter and some painkillers, I am in no mood to do anything. My right hand, yes the right hand, my dominant hand, is very sore.

Not looking for any sympathy, just letting you know what kind of klutz I can be. I walk into doors and all. This is not the first time I cut myself and won't be the last. At least I know it.

OK, I made mom the salad she loves. I named it the Rose Salad, after mom's middle name. As it is something I put together, which has all the nutrients one needs A mixture of raw vegetables. And chicken Parmesan  Well this mom ate, but she was a little tired so she didn't eat as much as usual. Not sure why. But it was OK, she ate her fruit, afterwards Lots of it.

I just got her ready for bed, read to her, and then once she was in bed, gave her the nightly spa treatment. I had to use a glove over my right hand. So I wouldn't get it infected from the lotions. I get the stitches out next week.

After the spa treatment, I needed to put the lights up on her tree. Looks good. Red lights and Red and gold ornaments.

I did this as quick as I could so I could spend time just holding mom's hand while she fell asleep. As soon as I finished, with the tree, mom reached out her hand for me to grab.

I need to go again. I will try to get this done as soon as I can.

GOD bless and good night
