New Haircut
It was already time for my mom to get a haircut. Her hairstylist said she was busy the next couple weeks and not sure when she would be able to make it over. She called this afternoon and said she was available. My mom was just finishing her nap, but didn’t want to get up. […]
New Fridge
Our old refrigerator has been slowly getting noisier. It has actually been keeping us awake during the night. One of the shelves broke and the door drops down a bit with a clunk when it is opened. Almost a year ago, my mom and I looked at refrigerators online at their favorite appliance store. She […]
Spreading Mulch
It has been ridiculously difficult to get dedicated caregivers for one reason or the other. We had another new caregiver start yesterday and she was here this afternoon. While she sat with my mom during her nap, I took advantage of the opportunity to go outside. The housing complex delivered mulch that was ordered today. […]
Food
Today’s Gospel reading was about an appearance Jesus made to his disciples after His Resurrection. I read a homily from a friend and listened to the one when I went to church. Both made mention to the fact that in the first few stories of Jesus’ appearance, He was always eating. One jokingly said that […]
The Recliner
Mom has been getting more and more sleepy during the day, but doesn’t necessarily want to be in bed. She has tried to get comfortable on the sofa either lying down or propped up, but it hasn’t worked out very well. I have asked a couple of times if she would like her little recliner […]
Best Places to Visit
Today we found a show that highlighted the 50 best places to visit in the United States. We got about half way through as we watched a couple of different times. Out of those that we saw, my mom had been to all but 1 of them. It was a good exercise for her to […]
Dizzy Relief
My daughter in law has been suffering from dizziness on and off for many years. She has been to several doctors who have not been able to help her. Recently, a chiropractor friend of theirs recommended a doctor for her. She has seen him a couple of times now and I talked with her about […]
Sharing Eclipse
I was excited to see the eclipse today, even though we weren’t in the path of totality. I found our glasses that we used in the past and got ready for our 79% coverage. My siblings were texting as one brother was camped near Dallas and hoping the clouds would disperse. My other brother planned […]
So Much Help
When we left the house last week, we wanted to make sure it was ready for the roofers. We took the pictures off the walls and put several knick knacks away to make sure nothing would fall and break. It was so nice to get home yesterday, but the house was in a bit of […]
Finally Home
I stopped by the house last night and saw that the workers had finished replacing our roof. I was elated and excited to finally go back home today. Mom has been saying for a couple of days that she wants to go home, but sometimes she says that even when we are at home – […]
