Good morning to you. 

Plan today, Lord willing, is visit Mom and finish getting her side of the room decorated for her with family photos, calendar, etc. and take her more clothes.  I finished washing her clothes last nite.  This morning I've been washing more clothes (not hers).

Also, to finish studying the Sunday School lesson for tomorrow morning and study for home Bible study (where we meet in a designated home of a Christian brother and/or sister about once a month instead of the usual Sunday nite church service) tomorrow nite.

A ham (Hubby bought) is thawing out to bake for Hubby's supper (I don't eat pork) and I'll probably bake some rice in with the ham when it is close to being done.

Today's Food:

Breaky: Plain, wheat toast,40 and coffee w 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp creamer, apple 80(145)

Snack:  4 nekot cookies (peanut butter) 160, water 0 (305) 

Lunch: lima beans 160, tomatoes 25, pineapple in juice 70, pkg. of 6 nekot cookies 240, water 0 (800)

Snack: 3 pcs. white bread 210, water 0 (1445)

Exercise: Wheeling Mom around, decorating her half of the room, walking back and forth from the large parking lot, toting her things.

Afternoon update:  Visited Mom (who is doing real well) about 3 hours or so today...wheeled her outside and we sat in the shade on the porch in rocking chairs in the nice sunny, breezy, warm weather a while...then I encouraged her to eat lunch in the dining room with other residents, which she objected to cause her back hurt her but when I told her I'd take her lunch to her room if she needed me to, she decided to eat with the others.  Hubby's Uncle is a resident, too and I introduced Mom and him.  They rode the school bus together when growing up...also Hubby's Mom included (she passed last year).  Mom's room looks pretty good now that there are family photos out and other decorations she likes.  Her clothes are clean and hanging in her closet.  After hours of visiting, I finally bent over to hug her good bye (she was in the bed for her nap) and she didn't turn me loose when I raised back up and now I have a STRAINED, painful back muscle to match the other pulled muscle I went to the doctor about the other day.  Came home and took tylenol.

Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned against You in the way I have lived my life. I am truly sorry and I want to turn from my selfish ways and follow You. I hand my life over to You, knowing that You have paid the price for my sin by shedding Your Blood and dying on the cross for me. Lord I ask You to forgive me for all my sins and take control of every area of my life. I receive my salvation now according to Your promise: "All who call on the name of the Lord, will be saved." Thank you Jesus.

Hope you're having a blessed day in the Lord!

........................................................................

Good afternoon.

Hubby is home today and after he took me to the doctor (pulled muscle), we visited Mom a couple of hours...took her a pack of fresh strawberries, a corn dog, 2 baked sweet potatoes, a pretty box of kleenexes, and some fingernail polish remover.  I trimmed her fingernails and cleaned them out (something she wanted done) while we were there.  Took her photo while there...she had on a pretty pink outfit and was in a good mood.  She took Hubby's and my photo, too.  Was surprised when the hospital's case manager announced to us before we saw Mom that Mom is being discharged Thursday...day after tomorrow...what a stressor to hear that, especially when her doctor told me the other day that Mom would be there until the latter part of next month.  Was told he doesn't know what is going on...???????.......   I am thankful Mom is doing so well, but her foot is NOT WELL YET and none of the nursing homes I've tried to get her into have a bed available for her....So, she may have to go back to the nursing home where she was neglected cause she has to have 24 hour round the clock care, including lifting her.  Also, I am in GRIEF over my Friend passing Sunday nite...I have cried and cried.

I am nauseated today since I got up this morning.  Now Hubby just came and announced we have to go buy a SECOND battery for the lawnmower (bought one last year and purchased the mower the year before) and wants me to ride with him.  I feel SO DEPRESSED.

Good afternoon.

My friend (in the hospital) passed last nite.  She was one of the most beautiful people, inside and out, I've ever had the blessing to be friends with.  She was a very optimistic person...not one to let anything get her down, and she really loved her family a lot.  She had pretty little flower gardens she'd planted that she was happy over and would show me when I was over for a visit.  No one else was like her.  She was very special. I thank you, Christians, for your prayers and I ask you to please continue to pray for her family.

Good morning to you!  It is a lovely, sunny, COLD (40's fahrenheit) morning.  I even turned on the heat for a few minutes to warm up the house.  I opened the front door to feel how cold it is outside and it is COLD!!!  But, according to weather reports, supposed to get up into the 80's today.   

Plan today, Lord willing....Go visit Friend in the hospital (Christians, I ask for your continued prayers for her, please!)...and afterward, go visit Mom and sit with her.  Got a call from Aunt yesterday and she is coming tomorrow to visit and have supper with Hubby and me.  Mom is so used to my visiting EVERY DAY and I feel stressed at her expecting that and getting upset or down if I don't.  I have just about eliminated family and friend relationships through neglect of spending time with them, cause of spending so much time with Mom and none or extremely little with them....not a good thing to do.  It is because I had NO ONE to help me with Mom.  Family had/has their excuses.  So, why do I feel GUILTY to not go sit with Mom tomorrow and to take a day (as I did last week) to spend with my Aunt (her Sister)?

........................................................................

Good morning to you!  It is a lovely, sunny, cool (60's fahrenheit) morning and I had breaky out on the front deck early this morning.  The red rose bush (which is loaded with roses in bloom) in the flower garden near the front steps looks real nice and I'm thinking about getting another one to match it to put on the other side of the steps. 

I got a call from my Sister this morning, who said she'd called and talked with Mom earlier and she said Mom was doing well, so I've decided to have some rest this morning instead of demanding to myself that I run over there to sit with her and I may or may not go visit Mom this afternoon, cause even though I love being in her company, it is so stressful when I leave and she gets upset.  Then I stay upset for hours and don't sleep well at nite...like last nite, it was almost 2 a.m. before I finally went to sleep, I was so stressed out.  So  I am going to get some things done around the house this morning that I've been putting off to do, like clean out one of the closets.  I have too many things I 'like' in it rather than I 'wear' in it.  Thus, it is stuffed and I can't hardly find what I DO wear in it.

.......................................................................................

Later...ho-ho-ho....I am in the middle of cleaning out the closet and the winter/fall things I am putting away fit JUST RIGHT...........'BUT'....most of the spring/summer things are about a size too small...(years ago when I bought them, I usually weighed less in the summer than in the winter).....So...I think this is 'cute'to myself...I am including the too small spring/summer clothing in the closet to wear...(right!...)...which most of these clothes I've not worn for years cause they are too tight!!!!!  What motivation, eh?

............................................................................

Today's Food:

Breaky: 2 coffees (1 tsp creamer and sugar each) 50, 1 mic'd egg 80, lite wheat toast w 1 tsp lowcal marg 65 (195)

Mid-morn:  1 hotdog of lf weiner 40 w mustard, onion, and ketchup 20 on lite wheat bread 40, 1/2 candied apple 145 (this was poor planning...I didn't crave the candy-part, I was craving the apple-part and ate the candied part anyway...should have had only apples in fridge), splenda tea 0 (440)

Lunch: Black-eyed peas with onion 250, 1/2 lite pim cheese s/w w 1 lite wheat bread 75, water and splenda tea 0 (765) 

Supper: Grilled out some bbq chicken on the back deck...I had 1 small leg, 1 small thigh minus skin and baked some 'french fries' (the white potatoes you peel and make into strips with onion and a little oil drizzled over them) 500, splenda tea 0 (1265)

Snack:  None

Exercise:  Walked 20 minutes slowly UPHILL on treadmill  -176 cals per this link:

........................................................................

Visited Mom today.   I spoke with Mom's doctor, who came into Mom's room, and told Mom and me that Mom is doing well and she will be in the hospital until next month.  We are trying to get her into a different nursing home.  I told her doctor how Mom was not taken care of at the nursing home and he said that her care at the nursing home had NOTHING to do with her being in the hospital and that the bone infection in her foot from the foot ulcer came about from Mom having BAD CIRCULATION in her legs...(her doctor in the hospital she was in before this specialized wound-care hospital told me the EXACT same thing).  She and I ate lunch together in her room and I stayed into this afternoon and she didn't want me to leave when I left.  I felt very sad and this is the usual and very, very STRESSFUL.

..........................................................................

After I left, I went to another hospital to visit a friend only to be told she'd been discharged a couple of days after I visited her last week...so I went to her home and instead of finding her doing better, the Lord helped me to be there at the right time to help  her son with helping her get ready for him to take her to go be readmitted to the hospital per her doctor's orders...so, Christians, I ask for your prayers again...for her.

...................................................................................

Other than the above, I've been busy washing clothes again today...now I have more of Mom's to do, too, since I saw her today.

Oh ya...I did stop by the local farmers' market on the way to visit my friend at her home and bought a pretty red rosebush...it is still waiting on me to go outside and set it out...

Think I'll go back outside now and set it out among other flowers near the front steps...
