I am emotionally and physically exhuasted from my crying jag yesterday. It carried over into the night and I think I cried myself to sleep. I haven’t shed any tears today but I was soooooooooooooooo tired I had to lie down at 11AM when mom did.
After I layed down I had a thought…I knew the phone would ring or someone would come beating on the door. I got up, unplugged the house phone, turned off my cell phone and made two signs for the doors. WE’RE SLEEPING, COME BACK LATER.
I woke up at 1:15 PM. Mom was still asleep. I plugged the phone back in and took the signs off the door. About 5 minutes later one of my friends from the Kingdom Hall came by with some muffins. After she left mom woke up and I fed her some lunch.
The oxygen people came with a Hoyer lift…haven’t figured it out yet but it will come in handy soon I am sure.
It’s now nice enough that we’re sitting on the porch waiting for a gal from freecycle to come get the bird cage I drug home from the alley two years ago and never did anything with. All is good in MaryJaneville.

I’m glad you had the chance to take a nap! Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. I’m glad your nap was uninterrupted and a whole 2 hours!

2 hours!? Wow! Must be nice. I think right around the time you were sleeping yesterday I was, too. Sort of a shame I had to be woken up by more ceiling crashing down.
Glad you got a nap in for once. I know that’s not normal for you. Happy to hear all is well. (Mmmm muffins)
