This is a Friday, a day that Mom normally goes to her day plan. However, without a phone call or other ‘head’s up’ the HandyDart refused to carry mom today because of weakened brakes. This when I was planning to go and get them on my own today, but that is now not possible– and as luck would have it, we have found help. However, today was supposed to also be a nice day so far as celebrating having a decent life here– I had planned to upload all the photos from Mom’s recent (and absolutely gorgeous) trip to the Skagit Valley, as well as a recent trip to Deer Lake where a friend took photos of mom working the steering column.
Somehow– and I’m at a loss as to how– we lost our DSLR Camera that I had for the last several years. I can’t figure it at all; I think someone might have seen our apartment door unlocked, looked in and saw the first thing of value that was easily portable (A good camera inside a carrying case is obvious) and took off with it. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Regardless, barring a miracle, we have lost a great camera and also need to replace the wheelchair today, and I’ve lost down time.
Such things should be aggravating but not threatening. I’ve noticed the number of days things that should take only hours have taken recently. There are burnout issues headed at me. Thus, I admit to having a little fear. But Mom seems happy, no major cough, strong enough to get up and down on her own. These are the things to hold to on a day where it feels like being kicked in the face would be preferable.
I’d post a picture with this entry, but I can’t.
