Meandering For Now

 

Mom has been doing so good lately

she is much less anxious, much more at home at the facility

she frequently wants to see what everyone else is doing

much less interested in hanging out with us

 

exactly what we've all been praying for

she also seems to be much better mentally

able to sign her name again

whipping through 100 piece puzzles

asking where specific articles of clothing are

 

we are so blessed with this facility

not perfect by far

mostly because they seem to always be short staffed

many days I help with lunch service

once a waitress...

it's fun because I can talk to each of the ladies

as long as Mom as occupied!!!

otherwise I get the jealous look

 

Her being at peace has sure helped me too

I feel more like me

 

Am sure part of it is getting the house purchased

it will be months and months before

we will get her on Medicaid

money from house will pay for facility

(right now almost 30 K owed)

then whatever they make me pay for home repairs

but we are nearly there

 

so for now

I will clean and organize the house

have been here about 15 months

some things haven't been moved since then

so many other priorities

 

I'm tired of clutter and dust

not in the mood to create just yet

plus I want to use up all the paint on the exterior

enjoy being outside without the pressure

 

Because the my credit union paid my share of the closing costs

(being a first time home buyer)

I ended up getting money back

Thanks Navy Federal

 

my friend Jo suggested I purchase a snow blower

good idea

 I'll just put the money aside to pay someone to plow

 

waiting for pumpkins

to show up at my favorite farm market

 

Happy Sunday!
