I need rain

Hello again

Thank you all very much I have now made 30,000. Now do you want me to stop writing.

I feel good about this.

So mom was a little tired today, It is not getting any better. The roommate keeps turning the volume up. And I keep asking the staff to turn it down.


I have the complaint form printed, now I just have to fill it out and scan it back into my computer, write a letter to accompany it. Then email it to the case manager. Sounds simple.

Mom ate well today, not to much problem with her chewing and swallowing. She was hungry today. Couldn't wait for dinner.

Mom likes and gets a certain chocolate for dessert. Lindt Truffles. I always have a supply at home, and I take several to mom's, to keep in the drawer. I used the last one, yesterday and I forgot them today. I didn't even realize it until it was time for dessert.

Oh my, mom was so disappointed in me.The look on her face when I told her I forgot her chocolates, was so hard to believe. I am still feeling it. The huge disappointment she felt. Broke my heart. I have never, not had them there for her.

The first thing I did when I got back was to put the rest of the box in my bag.

After that it was getting her ready for bed.

Oh yeah, I went out into the main dinning room and asked the staff if there was any kind of chocolate around. Nothing.

I need to get her some tea tree oil for her toe nails. The fungus has returned. I did not use it enough the last time. It has to be used well beyond when the toes are cleared up.

Got her ready for bed and waited, for not to long, for the staff member to come and put her into bed.

Then her favorite part of the day. The spa treatment. So relaxing for her. To bad she can't just go to sleep in peace. She tries though.

I had time, it was really early when we finished the spa treatment. So mom was sleepy and wanted to hold my hand. Which, of course, I did for her. She pulls my hand close to her and closes her eye's. Prompt me to sing our good night song to her.

Which I did, so she could get some rest. I stayed holding her hand for a while, until she was asleep.

I gently removed my hand from hers and packed up and left.

I really need to be there. In White Rock. So much time will be saved.

I decided I am going to write a book of poems. I have been able to write again. I found a muse. And she has helped me with my writers block.

I have always written poetry. I lost or they were never given back to me, Over two hundred poems.

I am starting over. I have written more about a dozen in the last two weeks.

And again, thank you all for reading this blog.

It keeps me connected to reality. It is real, uncensored  and raw

Keep reading

GOD bless and good night.
