Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2008. Mattie was home between hospital visits. Peter's mom sent Mattie this foam puzzle of the world. Mattie put it together and posed for a photo. When he did this, I told him... It is Mattie sitting on top of the world! He loved that notion!
Quote of the day: Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! ~ Anne Frank
Tonight I am marinating scallops and cleaned all my baby bella mushrooms. I will take that on and an arugula salad tomorrow.
It is 9:30pm, and I finally got a moment to write the blog. I have been cooking, doing laundry, meeting my parents needs, took them to dinner, gave Sunny all his meds and chemo, and also balanced Indie, the cat. Indie is very aggressive about getting her food and attention needs met.
At 9pm, I helped my dad upstairs and put him to bed. I put him to bed an hour earlier, because I notice by 10pm, not only is he sleeping in his reclining chair, but he doesn't have the energy to get upstairs. It is my mom who insists that they stay up until 10pm. However, you should note that as soon as she sits on the couch, she sleeps. I have watched the same episode of a show we are watching many times, because she can't get through an episode. Yet insists on staying up. Her sleep pattern is unstable, because once she goes upstairs, she can't sleep!
When I put my dad to bed tonight, he asked me... do I shave now? I had to remind him that it was night time and time to sleep. He is a shell of his former self and overall it is depressing, exhausting, and it is hard to come to terms with everyday being more of the same.
