Hi everybody,
I'm still out of town at a friend's house but will leave in the morning for the 5hr drive back home. It's been a really fast trip. I'm glad I came home though. My mom needed some stuff done around the house. Firstly, she had no TV!
The picture tube had gone out in the one in her living room and she had given a little one to my aunt so her grandkids could watch movies on it. After the first night I was going stir crazy (sad I know). She had a big tv downstairs but couldn't move it herself and didn't want to ask anybody for help. I called a neighbor and he and his son moved it upstairs and I finally got the direct tv working on it. Whew! There was no way I was going to let her stay there in the house alone, unemployed with nobody to talk to and with depressing things to think about without at least the company of tv.
She also needed to get internet access which I only partially got her started on with a new laptop and some software downloads. I still have to send her a part we couldn't find in town. Her microwave also is out and her new one is sitting on her counter instead of being mounted above the stove. This I couldn't fix without df but he couldn't come with me. My uncle is supposed to do it for her but it will take him forever to do it. He has absolutely no sense of urgency. It will probably be sitting there next time I come home, no matter how many months it takes me to get there. I get so annoyed with the extended family. I feel they should do more for her since my dad passed away since they come to her when they need money. That is another subject that I should stay away from before I upset myself...
Buddly, glad you stopped by. I don't have to work till thursday so I'm going to enjoy my last day off wednesday at home.
Momof4, good job on the meds, did you take them today?
Vermont, it is a daily struggle, one I've been losing the battle with for some time now. One of my resolutions is to exercise twice a week. That's not a lot but it has to improve my health. I can of course do more and want to but I'm trying not to set myself up for failure so if I only get in twice a week I'm not going to beat myself up. Besides twice is so much more than the none I'm doing now. I bought the Wii fit game today. I look forward to trying it out.
Anybody else making resolutions? I had stopped for a while b/c I was sick of failing miserably at keeping them. This year I feel like trying it again.
