Wet again, this is the way it is

Hello again

So another typical day in Vancouver. Rain. But we were the hottest in the country yesterday. Broke records for this time of the year. 16 c.

I arrived very early today Just wanted to be able to spend more time with mom. Take our time eating and getting the spa treatment done. I gave her something to drink, I cleaned her up a little from the day. And mom wanted to eat in her room again. Less noise for her. To much noise gets mom upset. This is part of Alzheimer's. And going to bed early, well if you don't do anything all day, you would be tired as well.  I made mom a very nice pasta dinner, with meatballs. This time the meatballs were not dry. As every other time I made them. I was surprised. This will probably be the one and only time. I think I figured it out.

Anyways, mom ate very well tis evening. I am happy about that. A very nice dessert, which I made for her. I am getting better at making desserts. I only started to bake a year ago. And I am doing very well at it.

So the typical routine took place this evening as always. I changed mom, we got her into bed and the full spa treatment is what mom wanted tonight.  And tonight, mom easily bent her knee's. It is getting better, mom is able to bend her knee's more and more.

Then I just held her hand, until I was falling asleep. It was time to leave. I am standing up and falling asleep. I told mom. But she didn't hear me, she was almost snoring. I packed up, she woke up and I gave her something else to drink before I left. Then a little touch up, Sang to her, gave her the nightly good bye kiss. And off I went.

Once again, I notice my stress level going up the closer I get to Coquitlam. I appear to be calm, but I have twitches when really stressed out and it is not fun.

I can't stand it anymore. I need to be living out their. Even if it is in a tent. I can't stand living with anyone. I am tired of cleaning up after people.

I am done.

GOD bless and good night
