It's a beautiful sunny day again, but cool for Friday June 13th. I'm still at Mom & Dad's but think they will be okay overnight so I'll start spending nights at home and come back in the mornings. I've been letting them do more and more things on their own and they seem to be managing better every day.
Yesterday I left them to fend for themselves to make a dash to Ikea! I got to check out the new sofa on Tuesday night at the camper and thought that the matching chair would be nice… out came the measuring tape - yikes! There is no way that it would fit. Luckily a search on the Ikea website revealed a matching seat cushion for the existing Ikea poang chair 😉 so off to Ikea I went! Can't wait to see how everything looks!
Later in the day, Dad and I went to his doctor for meningitis vaccines that the Ottawa Health Unit arranged for us to get. I had an appointment set up for mine in a town about an hour from here, but Dad's doctor offered to jab me which saved me a lot of driving around!
This morning Mom made it downstairs to make her own breakfast! After she was settled back upstairs in her lair, Dad and I went for a walk. There are beautiful paths near their house that meander through treed and open areas. It's a lovely walk - Dad does it at least once a day and often twice!
Mom was downstairs again for a late lunch and afternoon of TV. She even managed to walk around her garden for a short while, but then she was exhausted and slept for several more hours.
It's 8pm - I'm home, have had supper, and am just about to move clothes from the washer to the dryer. Next up, a nice hot bath! And then a long sleep in my own bed :-)
Awesome!
