Just waiting for Mad Men to be over so I can go play it on my DVR so I can zap the commercials. Checked out a blog written by someone I admire (who happens to take awesome pics of her fine kitties) and, since I'd been thinking that I hadn't been here in a while, decided to write a bit myself.
Mom's failing, I think. She has congestive heart failure and, while I know this can go on for a good long while, I think she'd rather it didn't. Her Alzheimer's seems to be getting worse, but it's hard to tell on the phone. She just doesn't sound as "with it" as she did a mere six months ago. It may not even be entirely the Alzheimer's but her heart problems that are making things worse--her brain not getting enough oxygen--or it may be 50/50 or something like that. And it really doesn't matter. I don't think she's in pain and, so far, whenever she falls (and she tends to do that a lot, it seems), she hasn't actually broken anything. She keeps asking me to come down again to visit and I've assured her that I will, but I know it'll be several months before I'm willing/able to go. I'm hoping her trustee will start paying her more attention, I think she misses someone taking care of her, which I can only do in small bits and from afar.
Anyway, work is going okay. Baby steps towards keeping to my budget and getting things paid for that need paying for. I really need to increase the amount of business I get, but I'm afraid the Sharks just won't be able to handle much more work. And finding good new Sharks is So Very Hard. Thankfully, I just found someone new and, although he's got some interesting, I'll call them "quirks", he seems to be working out well.
Okay, it's late enough, I'm going to shut down and wrap up the evening and tie it in a bow and get to bed. See you soon, I hope.
