One Battle Won

We've survived the year mark. And apart from some "whatever/leave me alone" vibe I got from Mom's tone Sunday morning and yesterday, it wasn't as bad as I expected. She slept much of these past few days. Watched TV and read. There was some annoyance in her tone yesterday about the cats, but they've been real vocal lately. All in all, I think we survived the battle of the anniversary.

She seemed okay when I woke this afternoon. And when I got out of the shower, Nana had stopped by. And for once, that visit didn't leave Mom irritated or upset. Praise God, I actually think the visit was a good thing this time. I took off for Target Tuesday with Dad. :) I bought Mom a new heating pad as she sorta wore her old one out. :P Next month I'll get her another one, for back up or those really bad days. Dad got me a movie and a couple books, I know I am spoiled. :) Oh, Nana left some clothes she bought but didn't like after all. :P So Mom got some new tops to wear around the house and I got a light denim jacket. Yay! Finally a light jacket that will match all colors. :P Good timing too, cuz summer's coming and I need new clothes.

We picked up food on the way home, even though Mom didn't answer her phone.... She'd been sleeping. But when the grogginess finally wore off, she did manage to join us for din din (well join us as we finished ours). And she seemed more like her old self.. Well, new old self. Joking a bit and smiling and laughing when something was funny. Same thing when Nana was here.

I was susprised actually. So, thank God, we survived the day. Next battle... His birthday. And then Mothers' Day. If we can just make it to summer.... We may have won this year's war. Well, til the holidays that is. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Oh yeah... I, individually, survived okay too.
