Had a nice quiet day today but feeling kind of down.

Got out for a walk early this morning, before the heat of the day set in, it was nice but very humid, i was very happy to get back home. In an effort to lose some weight i've also been working on doing flights of stairs here in the building...every little bit helps i guess.

Did a couple of loads of laundry today, small loads...they didn't need to be done and in retrospect i should have waited but sometimes i just like it when there is no laundry in the hamper...that and i just like to keep ahead of it.

After that was done i was going to start dinner but my sister does volunteer work on Mondays, after work...and so i knew she wouldn't be home until 7pm...so waited until the appropriate time and started dinner. Tonight we were just having hamburg patties, fried potatoes and corn on the cob with slices of cucumber. By the time i'd made dinner i was feeling so lethargic that i just wasn't hungry. I ate a little but not much. Thankfully my sister offered to do the dishes...so i took her up on the offer and away she went.

At 8pm we were watching Little People, Big World when Rich called. I forgot we had spoken last night and he was to call me tonight from his parents place (where he was spending the night) to see about coming for dinner on Tuesday. So we are getting together and he will be over some time Tuesday afternoon, so i am going to get up early and make a macaroni salad. With that we'll have breaded chicken breasts and some coleslaw. I think he will like that.

He didn't hear back from that place regarding the position they were seeking to fill...shame. It would have meant him working nearby and he could have come for lunches, etc. I do hope he finds something soon. In the meantime i've been picking up food for him here and there when i go grocery shopping. I hope there is a fair amount there for him to take home. I know he is struggling and he is my friend. I am sure it isn't easy and i don't like the idea of him going without food.

Mother has been getting me down again today...she is talking of going to stay in a old age home. I feel like she is saying i am not taking good enough care of her. I have been trying my best to do all i can for her, it's just never enough.

I don't think she will be happy going into a home, with strangers. Mother has never been one to have friends...all of my life she never really had very many friends. Right now she has none at all...so maybe it would be a good thing for her. I will support whatever decision she makes. I just hope she is happy when she finds a placement.

Well i don't want to think about that right now... i should go to bed because i'll need to get up early, wash my hair and get the salad ready.

Goodnight.
