Nothing new
Jun. 4th, 2005 07:50 pmI have totally wasted this day! Well, not totally but pretty much. My ass has been plastered to the couch which is now a teddy bear factory. I have all the bear materials in a big tray so for exercise, I move me and the tray from the couch to the chair or back. For aerobics, I walk to the kitchen for another Diet Dr. Pepper at the switch. And... I do this without, mind you, a personal trainer!
My brother and his wife have decided to go up to see Mom for an hour or so tomorrow. 4 hours drive one way. But, he says, he wants to say good bye if it's that time and if it's not, he'll be giving up a day of mowing grass and doing chores and he's ok with that. I'm actually kind of glad he's going but I hate that he's making such a long drive for it. It will be nice to get his take on the sitch.
My sister is causing a few problems, not nearly as many, likely as she wants to but after last time she knows my brother will chop her a new asshole if she gets in my way. So she's just doing her usual passive aggressive thing and I'm ignoring her. She's making noises like she will make the great sacrifice of going to visit Mom. Translation 'I can score another free trip to see my friends and drop in to create havoc at 'the home' as a bonus.' But, good luck with that... Mom is too out of it to pay for any plane tickets and I've got the purse strings and they are curiously not opening for a free trip for my sister. Imagine that.
I have decided that I am not going. If Mom gets coherent and asks me to come and I think she's going to stay coherent enough for me to get out there, I'll go. But, otherwise, no. I do not want to see her dying. And there's nothing I can do to affect the situation in any positive way.
Switching topics entirely:
My tennis elbow is way much better. I thought it was fixed totally but every once in a while I'll do something that reminds me that I hurt it. And when I squeeze the rubber squishy ball, I can feel it. But, I know that it will be totally fixed eventually. Thankfully.
I would sure love some cake. White cake, white icing. But, not enough to get into the car and go get some. I think I have some banana bread in the freezer. That's going to have to do, I guess.
