ianukFriday ended the rollercoaster week of hell with a margarita the size of my head and more when I got home. We had dinner with Ari at Guadalajara Grill which was nice and kinda more symmetry I needed since that was where we went when I got back to Tucson in March. But it was what I needed. Got home and Benton headed off to bed while we made drinks and I had too much...not stoopid but I was tired and my brain turned off and I sent to bed at 930pm. I did not wake up in time for hitting the gym and that was okay. I needed to sleep and rest and just not be for a while. I visited mom for a bit and then picked up Ari for the Street Fair. We ended up parking at the Tyndall Garage and walking to the site 5 long blocks away. ITs just easier. We started at pretty much the top of the fair and then got settled into a bar spot at Magpies for food and beer. It was so nice to bum around with Ari and get things on our lists. She found a lovely jacket, I got a nice necklace at Silver Sea and found the best gift for Mel. He will like it I hope. I got home and mel was in the shop with Kung Fu mike working on his walking stick and Benton was taking a nap. He was not feeling good. I was tired and just sat watching TV. I don't recall the rest of the evening. I know Mel and I finished up season 5 of Clone Wars and started Season 6. OMG why did we not know any of this.
Sunday I went and saw mom and she was really spacy and was at least up and sitting at the table but her fine motor control is slipping. Its very hard to watch. I picked up Ari for a costco trip and had a nice time going there with her. I hate going to Costco by myself and another human made it so nice. Then I had my massage and got home after a quick trip to Safeway and checking in on mom. She was no better. Very tired and asleep.
At home I got Benton to help me put all of the xmas boxes away until things are settled for that . He was feeling somewhat better but we made sure he got a hot bath and to bed early. Mel and I then put things on TV and got presents wrapped. I have stuff to ship to wrap and stuff for Mel and a few things coming in still. But that helped me a lot. Plus it blocked access to the xmas tree skirt that Tasha has been balling up and snuggling under.
Monday was busy at work. This is the last week of work for me. Mom had called during the day and wanted to see me and I said I would see her after work. When I stopped by she had had breakfast out and about but didnt want dinner. She had not recollection of stating this at all. They brought her a meal and I sat her up so she could eat and it was obvious she can't really feed herself any longer. I got her to eat but had to basically feed her and remind her to swallow. She would just check on the same piece of food for minutes if I didn't. She had thought I left her in a nursing home in South Dakota. Sighs. She's scared and confused and thinks she's losing her mind. Which she is. I think she is scared of dying but I'm not mentioning it. But every day I see her slowing down more.
We shall see what I see tonight when I visit. I got to the gym about 15 mins late but I needed the self care/stress relief. Then it was home for a nice dinner and working on performance reviews. Benton was home sick yesterday but was doing better by the evening. I have a lot to work on for work. But its okay. Just taking things day by day.
On the book front. Finished number 42 "That Ain't Witchcraft" which was awesome. I started #43 which is "Imaginary Numbers" which lets us be with Cousin Sarah of the Price clan...she's fun. I have 2 more books in this series to be caught up which will be books 44 and 45. I will be very close to getting the 50 this year. Which makes me happy. I guess that is something.
