Hello again
It started off sunny today, so I wore a pair of summer canvas shoes. Packed a sweater though. Well the closer I got to white rock, I needed to pull the sweater out. Then when I arrived in White Rock, it started to rain. Thank GOD I had left my jacket in my bag from the sunny and warm day, yesterday. But by the time I arrived home, I was wet, my feet were wet, the bottom of my pants were wet. Needless to say I was wet.
I arrived in White Rock early so I might be able to take mom outside again. Didn't happen. We just went to her room and she had her drinks and a snack. By the time this was done, it was dinner time. So I needed to warm up her dinner. This I did, and mom again ate the whole dinner. And her dessert.
She was getting tired, so I quickly changed her. Then I just did the dishes, in her room. Mom was reaching out for my hand and complaining. I needed to sit with her holding her hand. Put a blanket on her and sat until the care aid came in to put her into bed.
Mary got her usual full on spa treatment. And I needed to leave early tonight. A neurologist appointment tomorrow to get a second opinion on the Parkinson's diagnosis from the first neurologist. I see him at 11 am tomorrow. I need to get to bed at a decent time tonight. I have to leave where I am staying at the time I normally get up. 10 am. I do hope I can fall asleep early tonight.
Now I sang to mom, I sang our good night song to her. While I was standing there holding her hand, her eye's were wide open. Normally they are shut and she is asleep or almost asleep at 7:30 pm It is her time. Asleep by 8 pm. And when I had to leave,, mom's eye's were still open.
I have to apply at this apartment complex. But you need to be 55 or older. It wasn't until recently I realized, I am going to be 54 years old next month.
I am such a looser. I should have a home and children, maybe even grand kids by now. But I am glad I get to take care of my mother. At least I am doing something right.
Time to end this for tonight.
I couldn't write last night, there was not wifi. Fixed today though. I have another idea that I am going to get it hard wired to my laptop. I just need to purchase some Ethernet cables. Was going to do this today, and I don't have time tomorrow. So it will have to be Thursday and hook it up Friday or Saturday. I need to do this, I can't even get updates for my laptop. Windows updates.
I do hope mom got to sleep soon after I left. The new roommates TV is, as I stated before 2 meters from the foot of her bed. And it is a flat screen. So the speakers are in the back and this roommate has it so loud. I keep getting the staff to turn it down. I don't even know if they take the remote away at night. It is disturbing mom. It should of never been put there to begin with.
I will be finding out if this roommate even has cable hooked up or she is hooked up to mom's cable. The outlet that she is connected to is on mom's side of the bed. So I will be calling the cable company tomorrow after my doctors appointment. I don't have time to come back home. I need to do something immediately afterwards. Since I am right besides the place.
Anyway, I have to go now. If anyone even cares.
GOD bless and goodnight
