My husband, the sweet man that he is, secretly booked a B & B for the night prior to Valentine's Day. Yesterday morning he canceled it in lieu of the updates regarding Mom's health. They were very kind, and did not charge a fee to cancel. We will re-book in the future.
Daughter K and I went to visit Mom (Gram) at the nursing home. My heart breaks for Mom right now. It took every millimeter in my body not to cry in front of her.
We had to get nurses to help her with something, and I have to say that they are so nice. They came in the room ASAP and helped Mom with getting her comfortable. Just a really good staff to have for her right now.
We were so emotionally exhausted arriving home, that I sent a text to my husband begging him to bring home dinner. I was in no condition to cook dinner. I was literally in PJ's by 3:30pm, fired stoked, chickens tended, mail brought in, and by 4:00pm, had an adult drinky drink in my hands.
After updating my husband, we retired early, and not one of us remembered to stoke the fire.
We woke up to a stone cold (gulp) wood stove this morning. I can hear the blustery winds outside, but last I heard, we are expecting rain. Not sure yet. It's still pitch dark, and I haven't checked weather.
While in town I stopped at Wal-mart to buy small "S" hooks. They had zero. I need 8 of them to hang new grow lights for my seed starts. I plan to stop at Home Depot today, when I got back to town to visit Mom. A new doctor is going to visit Mom today. There is no way to sugar-coat this, but the doctor is evaluating Mom in regards to hospice care.
