Chill Weekend

Hello Everyone:

It’s Sunday evening and time to write down a few thoughts on the weekend. The weekend was pretty quiet.  Thursday afternoon I had to step out to pick up a few things and saved major money. So happy about that.  I even had enough for a brand new shade lipstick. Yay. Friday was pretty good. Carer 2 was on duty and was able to keep an eye on mum. I hoped to finish early enough to have some serious down time before touching up my hair color, but no. Regardless, I did finish the color with enough time to take a breath before sitting down to another agonizing meal. Lately every meal has become torture. Mum barely engages in conversation and hardly touches her food. The last part, mum not touching her food. She tells me that she feels bloated , something I can understand but it still feels insulting because I go to some effort to prepare the food. I’m thinking of bringing a book to the table because of the lack of conversation. Fortunately the chatty carer was on duty Saturday and I someone to talk to. Today was pretty chill.  In the meantime, I’m still waiting to hear back from the City planning department. It just seems so agonizingly long. I think if it wasn’t for the virus, I would’ve have gotten an answer one way or the other, hopefully positive. I try to stay optimistic about the current state of things. My attitude is as long as the sun comes out, it’s all good. One thing the virus has taught me is to be grateful for everything I have. I’ve also become more of optimist. Everyday is a day closer to something better. That something is out there, I know it is. Anyway, I’m rambling.
