We spent the day moving mom from her cozy little cottage to her new condo just a mile down the street. I know she is apprehensive about this move, but I'm sure she'll get use to it rather quickly. Once we got her furniture in it, it really looked like home. She tried to take a nap, but I think it was a bit much. She is oh so weak from lack of sleep and probably just plain 'ole stress.
I stopped in to say hi to Dad on our way home from the condo. He was quite alert and pleasant. You just never know what you're going to find when you stop by. I put my face in his and said "hi" and he smiled a big smile and asked how I was. He spoke clear as a bell. Go figure.
There is still quite a bit to do before we can say mom is settled. A lot of it will be over time as things find the place they want to be. I'm sure she is frustrated at having lost some control over her life. We were putting things away and she just didn't have the energy to give much input.
The time capsule was fun to open and peruse. We didn't spend a lot of time on it as it was huge. I will scan the pages and somehow share them with the family. We had a nice lunch, which gave us enough fuel for a few more hours. It was 5:00 by the time we left Mom and Shauna with what was left. Hopefully, they'll restrain themselves and go to bed early. Monday is another day.
