Early start - 2023 10 17

 

I am sitting in my reading chair. My coffee cup is empty. Adele is curled up in her crate with the door open.

Mom was up at 5:30 am to get her dentures from the bathroom. I could hear her breathing and footsteps.

I got her back to bed and fetched her a glass of juice. Soon after I took her in her morning cup of tea.

I hear the tread of her oxford shoes on the floor, lightly clopping in tiny steps from her bed to the big chair. Her breathing is laboured as she sits heavily onto the soft chair. I can hear her catching her breath as she waits for me to get up and bring her morning cereal.

She has dressed herself in her bright pink jersey dress with beige ankle socks and her black oxfords. She still has the cotton in her ears from last night when I put the oil drops in to soften up the ear wax that seems to be bothering her. 

This morning Mom has a doctor appointment at 930 am. She is up early and on the move because she doesn't want to be late. It is 7:17 am. I think we are going to be fine.
