More of the Same

Bra shopping. Mom and I went bra shopping today. I took her to Lane Bryant only because on Labor Day, I figured it would be less busy than most other retail stores in town. I was right. We got personal assistance and Mom got two new bras. The outing was strenuous in 98 degree heat so we took the long way home when Mom mentioned that she could sit in the car all day in front of the air conditioning vent. We made a side trip to Sonic to get a Strawberry Creme Slush. After a few sips she decided she needed to go home and crawl under the covers for a nap because she was cold. So she did. But not before finishing that creme slush!

It has been a typical week for her. Mom was sick one day last week but I am sure it was because she choked on a large bite of her triple decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich at breakfast. She vomited and complained that it felt like something was stuck down in her chest. After resting all day and eating light, she was fine.

We are still talking about getting her hair cut. She is still saying no.

Mom is giving her jewelry to Becky and Becky brings it back the next day and puts it in my bedroom.

Yep, more of the same. Thank goodness! I know there can be trauma and drama any time but there wasn't any this week.

Julie and I are leaving on Friday morning to go to Alabama to see Elsie, Eli and Erin. We won't be back until Monday. It will be just Joe and Mom for several days. They do great together. He keeps her fairly safe and healthy - neither one can really be left alone for too long, but together, they do okay. He takes her to the grocery store, to church and out to eat. Joe is still her favorite of course. He doesn't notice if she is in clean clothes or smells okay and she doesn't notice or care about how he looks or smells! They just give each other a hard time and get along great.

I have to go now to take Levi and Micah home after a swim in the pool and then it will be time to put Mom to bed. I hope you all had a Happy Labor Day!
