I still am finding new things in Mom's stuff. She had a CD called Tapestry which is a bunch of random people singing Carole King songs. In this CD is a small yellow piece of paper with the definition of Smart Goals, plus TQM and the words "outside the box". I remember this rant with Mom. We have all been a part of this, whatever the magic words of the time to make us more efficient, balanced and motivated workers. I am working up to a random fit and Mom is taking notes.
Stan is feeling better and is also moving around better today. Several people have stopped by or called this weekend to check on him, and have also brought us dinner. We have moved slow this weekend and it has been good for both of us. This is my last slow weekend before the end of the year. I have barely checked email since Wednesday and have taken naps this weekend as Stan has taken naps. I think maybe I am rested (finally).
The hospital stay with Stan was harder that I thought it would be. Stan around the corner from the room that Mom stayed in when we were at Western Wake. This means I knew were the secret snacks were located. A couple of nurses asked me where I worked, and I when I answered, they had assumed I was "medical". No, I told them, I had taken care of my Mom.
