conversations
Mom came by for lunch today. She oredered us all pizza. I spent the afternoon exchanging stories and memories with her. Grandmother called in during her visit and included her own little tid bit.
"I couldn't sleep last night at all " says Julia. "I was all out of sorts because I couldn't find a way to control everything I wanted to control. I woke up early early this morning with the solution."
This is unusual for Grandmother Julia to get up early because her lupas ties up her joints to her bed normally until very late in the morning.
"well, Grandmother," I ask, "How early exactly was it?"
"It was still dark outside," she answered.
"What were you wanting to control so badly, Grandmother?"
The cleaning lady had not been wrapping the vacuum cleaner cord all the way up and just in general had not been leaving the place clean enough. So she got up and cleaned until the break of dawn. Most vigorous activity will trigger an attack on her joints so this frustrated me, but I got her point. Still though, I told her to fire her maid and find someone more effecient. She said anytime I feel that lost sense that all it takes to cure it is to take matters into my own hands, get up, and DO something about it. :-)
The icecream Rice Dream never made it to her door because her driveway is too country for the delivery truck to get there. :-( I wonder what I can DO about that ?? Even the owner of the store tried a second time,onher own to use an ice chest with dry ice in overnight regular mail, so she said on the phone. I will check again, make a short trip to the health store.
