Just another day in the life

Today was a good start with Physio, followed by a good amount of work before going to visit Mom and then meeting the Guedes family at my mom’s apartment. The mission was to have the boys, especially pick out any of the kitchen where that could be used, and then we went through a bunch of other things. I loved that Gene was able to find pot and serving utensils and things that he could put to use as well as a beautiful teapot. Will was especially in Emirate of the old brown Betty teapot that didn’t look like it had been used at all. Lukas took CDs and the print of the map of New Zealand that she had framed on her wall. Sawyer found a couple more cats that he couldn’t live without and Rhiannon and Roger found some trinkets and things that meant a lot to them and that they could use. Nothing was of a lot of value, but it sure was going to be well used and saves me taking stuff to the thrift store. There is still much to go through.

When I visited her, I talked to her nurse, and I am to go just afternoon tomorrow to hopefully meet with the transition, nurse and make a plan. I am worried that they will suddenly decide that mom has to be out of her apartment and we are not ready for that hence the purging as we go at the moment. I brought home some random things in her liquor cabinet, her coin collections to go through. These notepads made me laugh so you know they’re going to the office with me.

I had some leftovers with Rae-Anne and Roger back at their placeand we shared a bottle of the wine that was found in a cupboard it was OK can’t say that aged perfectly but then I’m not a big Merlot fan. Roger and I also had our meeting of the double D club.(Dead Dad) as it would’ve been his dad, Ryon’s, birthday today. A dram was toasted in our dad’s names.

This was one of the sweet finds of the day in Mom’s sewing kit, which I was very pleased William wanted
