26 july 2011 (tu)

(from my notebook)

i woke up at around 6:15 this morning. i slept pretty well. i had a long list of things to do today but i didn't feel very energetic.

breakfast

bacon
eggs
toast
banana (half)
coffee
iced tea

i didn't know what would be available at mommy's house so i ended packing a lot of stuff.

went to wegmans around 10:30.

interesting but somewhat mistifying webinar about dita open toolkit from 1:00 to a little after 2:00.

lunch

ham, turkey, provolone on bagel
gala apple
coke

i left for nn at about 2:45.

traffic went really well until i got to stafford. i stopped there to go to the bathroom. also felt hungry again.

snack

quarter pound thick burger
small fries
iced tea

pretty good burger

made good time again until i went from 295 to 64. accident there slowed us down for just a short while. about 10 minutes to get by it. very smooth again until about 2 miles from ft. eustis. 15-20 minutes to go the last 2 miles.

i got to the rehab about 6:15. the rehab is part of a larger facility which is gated. gate guard was a nice guy he gave me a pass so i'd be able to get through the gate quickly.

the actual facility is new and attractive. i got to mommy's room while she was folding laundry. she looked pretty well and seems bright and cheerful. i thing she may get a little bored now and then.

We moved to a lounge area when guests came to visit her room mate. She was a little confused (I later realized it wasn't confusion but poor vision!). She kept thinking the lounger are was closed (actually the rehab hall). I pointed out the are I thought she was looking for but she thought it was the wrong way. We sat in an area where she had never sat before. After I while she was worried that Burt would not be able to find us so we went to her favored location.

Burt joined us around 7:00 or so. We talked until about 8:00. Mommy looked very tired then so we left for the evening. i got to the house and moved all of my stuff in by about 8:30. I called Betty then.

sitting in the empty house reminded me of when i moved to berwyn heights. i felt seriously sad for about 20-30 minutes. i finally got enough gumption to go upstairs after that. upstairs is absolutely empty.

i built a camp in the cleanest area of the living room. i hope to be able to sleep. the floor is hard.

the fan and the radio help. i found a classic rock station so i can sing along.

dinner

bagle
banana
iced tea

too tired to go out!
