I should be blogging, but I just don’t know WHAT to blog about. The absolutely crazy winter weather? Ed, who was ill yesterday? The incredible sale I found at Bath and Body. Elegant Mother’s dislike of the nursing home?
\nThere’s not a lot of news in my corner of the world. I took lunch to EM on Monday and you’d think it was the best meal she had ever eaten. Unfortunately, she can’t remember the LOBSTER that my brother took to her on Friday night. My offering was a simple tuna sandwich, fresh raspberries and part of a clementine. She ate all that, and was too full to eat the salad that came with it. Probably what she liked the best was a small iced coffee from Starbucks. I can see that she both wants and needs to drink more, and the iced coffee might have been the part of the meal she enjoyed the most.
\nEM has been in a nursing home about three weeks, and they lost her bottom teeth (temporarily), her shoes ( for a couple of days…and in the meantime, someone has given her a pair of embroidered felt slippers….we haven’t a clue who they belong to),and now her glasses. I had to take her prescription sunglasses to her because she had been without glasses from some time on Saturday until lunch on Monday. We have informed the administration that they are missing, but no one seems to know anything about them. I’m going to print out a sign that says….Does EM have her glasses, her teeth and her shoes on this morning? to remind the aides to check for what seems obvious to us.
\nI’ll be vising EM again today, and I’ll take French onion soup, maybe half a sandwich, and something sweet to finish the meal. And, you can be sure I’ll take her more iced coffee! The Empty Nester Ladies will be visiting this morning at 11:00, so she should have a nice day.
\nI think it’s okay to say that I am TIRED OF THE COLD! I’m ready for spring. I want to be browsing the plant catalogs and planning what will go in our gardens. I doubt that I will have help with them this year, so I want to plant things that will make it with a minimum of assistance. Don’t you get that green-thumb syndrome this time of year, too?
\nI suppose I should cut this short so that I can get ready for exercise this morning. I’m trying not to miss any of the sessions, because it’s so hard to get back into the traces after being away several days. My exercise session, compared to what my younger sister does, is a laugh, but I can tell you that it makes a significant difference in my life. so I go. I don’t like it….but I go! *G*
\nI hope you all have a good Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
