End of another week at work

End of another week - whew! New bosses this week. The transition just flat wore me out. I came home every night just exhausted.

I have managed to keep up with my exercising ... I showed Joan my new arm muscles today and she showed me hers and said "I don't have to do all that stuff you do to get mine!" Pow! I just wanted to pop her one ... not really. Its frustrating that I have to work so hard though for such little things.

I went by to see Helen at Mayberry today ... she just sits there very blank with very little to say and finds it hard to say anything at all. I keep wondering if its the meds or if its just the alzheimers.

I've done some organizing on my family history this week, but need to get back to entering it. I'll be able to do that tomorrow.

16 October 2007

Today was quiet at work. I did some scanning this afternoon on family pictures on the Conine line and downloaded them to Flickr this evening for family to have access to them.

Joyce Davis spoke to me and said she'd seen Helen, my mother-in-law, earlier today and that she didn't appear to be doing well. I went by on my way home. She has seriously deteriorated over the last 2 weeks. I walked her from the front room and down the hall to her room and it took about 10 minutes. When I got her to her room, I had to lift her up and lay her in her bed. I took her shoes off and sat with her for awhile. I can't help but believe, her time is limited here.

I called Peggy when I left and updated her. I don't think I'll call her anymore. Its too upsetting to both of us.

I'm excited about my genealogy. I'm beginning to feel a real connection to my ancestors.
