As you have probably noticed, I haven't posted in quite some time. I guess I have been totally wrapped up in the day to day requirements, that I have neglected some of the things I enjoy doing. It's not that I have a busy schedule or anything, but I seem to have committed to doing a lot of things this month that I normally wouldn't be doing.
So far this month , I have gone to multiple meetings for various things, scored high school scholarship essays, gone to more Apple classes, gone to Dave Ramsey classes, and to Gilda's Club. On top of all this, I have been trying to get things made for my Etsy shop. (www.peonylane.etsy.com.) That has taken a lot of time. March is only two weeks old, and I feel like I have been going at this pace for months!
My mother finally got moved into her nursing home portion of the facility where she has lived for years. Her stay in assisted living didn't last as long as we/she had hoped. This was due to the fact that she couldn't make it down the hall on her walker during fire drills. She is very slow. The fire marshal regulations don't allow her to use her scooter to get down there, so she had to move. Her move however, was delayed for two weeks because both assisted living and the nursing home building were under quarantine, due to a horrible stomach virus that was rampantly going through the facility. She finally got moved in, but her first night there was a horror. The aide was supposed to help her to the bathroom, but didn't listen when my mother told her she had to hold onto her, as she walked. She was very rude to my mother too. Instead, my mother fell! She fell on her bad leg, and it started bleeding. It was only a small area, but her skin is so friable, that any pressure makes it bleed. You would not believe the hoopla my mother described happening the next day. All of the management and administrators came in to check on her, because they were really afraid she would sue them for negligence. She wouldn't have done that of course, because she needs this place to live. The aide has been instructed to not go near my mother, at my mother's request. Never a dull moment!
The weather here has been on and off sunny then rainy, with warm temperatures, then cold. Good for making you sick! The flowers are poking out of the ground and the trees are budding. Spring must be close by! I sure hope so. I need warmth and light badly!
Tomorrow, I am leaving early to go to Nashville. I will visit my mother and siblings while there. I will be spending the night at my nephew's house. I have a very early doctor's appointment on Monday morning, so I want to get there early. Hopefully, I will be seen quickly, and I can get back on the road to home.
That's about it for now.
Hope you all are doing well.
Hugs, Mary
