Still here!

Exhaustion along with depression has settled in on me this week. As a result, I have not been to the fitness center but once this week and slept all day yesterday and today until I had to leave to go to Mom's. I'm starting to dread going there every day. I never know what I am going to find. I am just TIRED.

 I have 12 sand bags in front of my front door due to the weather gurus predicting massive amounts of rain from Hurricane Isaac. We got 1 inch. Now I have to figure out how to remove the sand bags, which are very heavy. My brother put them there for me, but he has forgotten that they need to be removed. I don't want to remind him because he just has so much to do and he doesn't live in my town.

It is getting very difficult to fix something that Mom can eat or will eat. She almost always spits any meat out because she doesn't chew it up good enough to swallow it. It's disgusting and I am tired of trying to find something she will eat. She may eat it one day and the next day NOT! My brother and I have decided that if she gets hungry enough, she will eat whatever I fix for her. She doesn't like Mexican and she doesn't like cheese which pretty much eliminates any little frozen lunches. The caregiver doesn't cook any more. I don't blame her if Mom won't eat it. Mom won't even chew the peeling on the grapes. She spits that out as well.

AND I AM SICK OF LIBERALS! PLEASE LET US GET A NEW PRESIDENT!

Well, someone left an anonymous note that brought tears to my eyes. the message came to my email, but is not posted on the blog. Not sure what happened there. Anyway, I went to the fitness center yesterday and will go again today. Somehow that just helps!!! Mom hasn't spit anything out at supper in a couple of days. Not sure about lunch since I am not there then. I made chicken and dumplings for her Sunday and chicken salad yesterday and she ate both really well. I buy only dark meat and cook it myself so I can guarantee that it is tender.
