Thursday afternoon

It's nice when the chores get done early enough in the day, and there's not another reason to have to leave the house.  And fortunately the weather turned late yesterday, bringing some rain (not a dry summer this year) and cooler temperatures, which makes makes me feel friendly toward all my fellow humans.

Earlier today the two younger girls and I went to my mom's and I helped her shower and put in her rollers.  Trimmed toenails, and tidied up the house a bit again.  Took her some new reading glasses, and picked up a new checkbook.  Diddly things, but necessary to her well-being, and the running of her household.

Considering hiring an Aide to keep her bathing regular, but not sure.  She enjoyed taking her time in the shower, and not being hurried, and she could do it herself.  I just had to hold the towels for her.  Not such a big deal, but it's just finding the time that's hard.

Now I can breathe.  And hopefully tomorrow can be more of the same.

Oldest daughter is fixing dinner tonight, and there's nothing hanging fire to make me squirm.

This is good.  Now, I'll rest for the remainder of the day.  Not going to borrow frets, especially since most things are out of my hands.  Looking forward to a cup of tea later.  Got a new 1/2 # box of loose Lipton at the store.  Tipped it into my tea tin and added Cardamom, Coriander, Ginger, a few whole Allspice and shook it all up.  A nice treat for later on.  :)  Take care, all.
