I had a wonderful day today. I had taken the day off for a doctor's appointment. Afterwards I went for a massage (heaven!) and then did a little shopping. The weather was glorious here today. When I came home Terri said that she had tried to get Mom to go out but she seemed really tired and slept a lot today. Terri thought this was a little uncharacteristic for Mom. Actually, Mom has been doing a lot more napping lately and she's very restless when she sleeps. She does a lot of talking and twitching. But tomorrow's another day and hopefully Mom will want to go out. Our neighbor Sarah brought her 3 year old over to see Mom and the kitties today. Mom loved it, the kitties, however, were a little unsure about the situation. All in all it was a good day.

Yesterday, after much research and hesitation, and gentle prodding from both Mom and Allyson, we finally traded in my car and Mom's car and bought a new car. It's a new VW Passat and it's great. I was hesitant to trade in my Jetta, I loved it, but now the temptation to drive for Mom is gone hopefully. Plus, the new Passat has a push button key so she may not be able to figure out how to start the new car.

Yesterday when we were out cruising in the new car, we drove by my old townhome and Mom said, there's your old house, let's drive by it. The trees have gotten huge in 12 years. The person who bought my house had a trailer parked in the driveway, I feel sorry for my old neighbor. There were lot's of houses for sale too. Must be a sign of the times.

We picked up some Mongolian Chicken from LeeAnn Chin's. Mom tried it and ate several pieces. I was surprised. Her appetite has been better since we treated her UTI. I have also put her on a multivitamin. Why do they have to make multivitamins so big? They are hard to swallow.

Mom has been working the knots out of my back for me. She's a really good masseuse. Plus it makes her feel like she is contributing (which she is).
