Sometimes Confused - To MFS
When you get old, I'll make you take folic acid. I mean it!
I know what you're saying about routine. I guess it just scares me when Mom has days when she sleeps all day and there is nothing I can do about it short of propping her up in her rocking chair so she can sleep in the sun. Yesteday she had a "sleep all day" day. When she has those days I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I am. Probably only the gods know. I think I'll buy a ticket to Hell when I die so I won't have to see my "Look What You Did" list!

Push Pull - To LTF
Well, it's been a weird couple of days. Mom has decided that she doesn't need to do anything but sleep until we get to Mesa, because it's "cold". I used to think it was my duty to go along with her and be where she wanted to be but I'm changing my mind. Her desire to sleep is no different in Mesa than it is in Prescott and, truthfully, we actually get out less in Mesa. So here we go, I'm going to take a few days and be the drill sergeant, again. I think with old people who are pretty much in control of their faculties (not including their bladders) routines are the enemy regardless of what they say. Routines make it easier to sleep, easier to ignore what's going on. I say, a little confusion get's the blood moving!
