Mondays

When I worked, Mondays were always the "struggle day" when going back to work.  Now that I'm retired they don't have the same impact. And yet.... the struggle seems to stick with me.

I am trying to slowly back off visiting time with Mom. So far, every attempt to skip a day visiting means I will get plenty of texts.

Today, I brought her a lamp I repaired. I only stopped in to drop it off, told her she was having a PT nurse visit.  She said OK. But when the nurse got there, she had left and went to the dining hall for lunch.  Lol. The nurse called me, then mom texted me. 4 times!

Even though I didn't spend much time with her today, she sent me to her house to find a few things. So I am not sure it counted as a day away from her!  Haha 

For me, every day seems a struggle lately. There's not an escape, I just have to do what needs doing. The doing is ok, its the emotions that surround the rest of it thats hard. Her house, her money, her appointments... all of these things I have to keep track of for her. Plus all my own stuff. Add in the holidays and its just too much. So I find myself frozen to the TV instead of taking care of me. But that could be a whole post on its own! 

Needless to say, Mondays are still a hassle!
