Can’t you just hear Cass Elliot singing? She didn’t sing the lead on this song, but her voice is always the one I’m drawn to. I’m in the office this morning, and I’ve slipped the Mamas and the Papas’ CD into the computer to keep me company while I work.
Elegante Mother wasn’t in her sitting room when I went to say good morning. She was still in bed, not feeling very well. It’s frightening to find your 91 year old mother still in bed, not able to articulate just how she feels. After a few moments, when she was more awake, she was able to tell me that she wasn’t sick to her stomach, but felt achy and sick, more like the onset of a bad cold.
I’m rearranging my day to be able to keep an eye on her. My-Sister-The-Nurse has just returned from visiting with part of her family in Australia and Hawaii. If Elegante Mother doesn’t improve, I’ll give sis a call to see if we need more assistance.
Normally, we would have gone to exercise at 8:00 a.m., had coffee with friends at McDonald’s, and then gone grocery shopping. I’ll have to check the freezer to see what I can put together for dinner, so that I don’t have to run out to the store.
Dear Husband will be thrilled to find that the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, waivers and filing have been done, and I’ll have the chance to send a back-up to the CPA, so there’s a little sunshine at having to change around my day.
Elegante Mother was very pleased to have been given a clean bill of health from the doc following a fasting blood draw. She was like a little kid, bragging about not having to go back to the doctor! *G* Her test results were pretty decent, and her triglycerides are a darn sight better than mine! I hope this is just a summer cold that’s laying her low.
