11-06-22 Settling Mom
I had the strangest sleep last night. I woke up several times, wide awake as if it was morning but it was still completely dark out. I finally got up at 4 something, had some water and put on the TV to just rest in bed. I did fall asleep for a couple more hours and to further complicate things it was Fall back time change, no more daylight savings. I did get chores done including laundry to ensure I have clean uniforms for next time I am scheduled. I read all the material about food prep and menu items and then dropped it off to Jesse next door as he is starting there next week. I also saw a commercial that reminded me about my covid booster and flu shot so I tried to schedule online but it didn’t work. Next I called service Canada and the kind lady got me an appointment next week in Marysville, part of Kimberley. I will get both shots that day. Working at Arby’s handling cash makes me want to be sure I am fully boosted and as protected as possible.
I got ready, loaded up a chair and the leftovers from Friday night, stopped at Safeway for my prescription refills and some groceries mom needed. the chair is an older bentwood one that Judy had. It goes perfect outside her door to sit and take winter boots off. I had brought a pretty boot tray yesterday. Uncle Lawrence was there to my surprise and I heated up food and then he and mom started playing crib with the football game on. I had expected to play with her so instead i got busy sorting, arranging and hanging her photos and art. She was very pleased when I was done and I have some to take to the thrift that she doesn’t want as well. It was a good visit and I left when it was time for her to go down for dinner. The most fun was going through the scrapbooks that the girls had made for her in 1993
Once home I made a chicken stew with biscuit top for dinner. It was tasty but it still isn’t my favourite texture. I would have preferred separate biscuits.
It is time to go to bed as the time change will be felt tomorrow.
