COMING TOGETHER--13

Today went well, in fact, my mother seems to be getting adjusted to getting up and having breakfast. I had my schedule changed today. I went to work at noon, coming home at 8pm.

When I came home, I frightened mom. She forgot I was coming home at 845pm, she thought I was an intruder. Her heart raced, which actually is a good sign. I'll have to call her before I get home. We had some fruit in her kitchen together and she is better now.

Her mind is improving, showing some interest in other things than her usual stuff. She is still up at 9pm at night, and that is good, also.

I have felt great stress. I have felt great fatigue and sleeplessness. I have wondered how long I can go on doing this, living with my mother and taking care of her and me and two cars and two bank accounts and other sruff. I have felt a sense of death and doom, wishing it could lift somehow.

But now I feel better.
