Hello again
This past weekend we, in Vancouver, had a major storm. Which left over a half a million people without power. Including myself. It went out Saturday at 1 pm and did not come back on until this morning at 9 am. I did not have much time on the battery of my laptop or phone so I used it to entertain myself. It was dark, just the one flash light, So I watch shows on my laptop until the battery died, then a movies on my phone.
It took me over 4 hours to get to mom's on Saturday and the same amount of time to get back home. And Sunday was the same thing.
So on Sunday I brought every chargeable thing. Laptop, phone, external charger, to my mom's place and charged everything up. No power, no anything. Needed to keep myself entertained or I would not be able to handle it.
Today I needed to clean out the fridge, and throw things away from the fridge and freezer. Mom's food items which I make her smoothies from and dinner's. It was fortunate I had everything for the salad mom likes. Which was a good thing. This I made for mom. Everything was fresh the night before the power went out. The fridge was cold enough to make the salad last through until today. So mom had this amazing salad Sunday and today. She has had enough of it for a little while now. Two large bowls of it.
There was no power outages where mom is. It is on Hospital grounds. So this can't happen.
Of course Saturday being bath day for mom, she was in bed, as usual. And it is breakfast in bed day. Which I made her a pizza omelet. And did mom ever enjoy this. Then I needed to change her sheets. Mom is in bed while I do this. So it is sometimes difficult. But I have it down pat, I don't even have to roll mom now.
And of course the spa treatment. After her bath they never put on any lotion. Well I don't leave it there,as it will go missing, as it always has. And of course the home is never responsible for this. Deny, deny. Not our fault. It wasn't us.
I digress.
Mom has been in a good mood the last few days. Except today, she was shedding some tears. I think she feels that if she wasn't around I wouldn't have to go through this. As I explained to her, I will walk the ends of the earth to take care of her. It doesn't matter how long it takes for me to travel. I am there and glad to be there. I don't care what it takes I will never miss a day. I will always be there to take care of her. This what I do. Yes I work and I work taking care of my mother.
Anyways, since the power is finally on, I have had many emails I needed to respond to, and other things I needed to do online. It is getting late.
Oh yea day 9 of my fast and it is really starting to affect me. Loosing weight. Dizzy all the things that happen when doesn't eat. Oh well. I did it to see if a miracle would happen and yea, nothing.
And I deleted my campaign to help me purchase hearing aids. Why bother keeping it up, when it was up for over a month and nothing. I guess it is OK for me to not hear and go deaf. That mom doesn't need me to hear to fight for her rights. It is a good thing I can read lips.
I am not deaf, I just need hearing aids to hear the low tones. And people speaking to me at a distance. But none the less I need them. I will still fight for mom.
I guess I should say GOD bless and goodnight

More tomorrow
