Day #45 > MONDAY 7th DECEMBER I’m up early as Mum & Bob are off to Bob’s docs for the official results of his spine scans from last week. He is in a shocker of a mood. Nervous I’d guess, but I’m gentle & warm with him. Mum’s ok, but says she’s a little tired. I […]
Day #44 > SUNDAY 6th DECEMBER I’m not down particularly early – maybe 9.15am – as no church today due to KLC’s landlord calling Time Out through December due to Covid, so I have a lie-in. I’ve heard Mum & Bob talking earlier although by the time I’m downstairs Mum’s back in bed & Bob confirms she’s […]
Day #43 > SATURDAY 5th DECEMBER Down at 8.30am; I make coffee as there’s none in the pot & drink it in the den alone. Mum eventually comes out, we exchange pleasantries & once Bob sits down she strikes up conversation that she think’s I am ‘overstepping the mark’ in regard to care for her; as she’s been […]
Day #42 > FRIDAY 4th DECEMBER Slept slightly later due to disturbed sleep but got downstairs around 9.15am to an empty kitchen & den. Both Mum & Bob were in their bedroom, so I emptied the dishwasher whilst I waited for my fresh brew of coffee to do its thing. Eventually they both appeared & we performed […]
Day #41 > THURSDAY 3rd DECEMBER Up before 9.00am & as soon as I’m downstairs Mum says she & Bob are off early shopping. No problem at all I say, as to be honest I’d quite like a breather from them despite knowing that Bob wants to get Mum away from me, so I’m happy for him […]
Day #40 > WEDNESDAY 2nd DECEMBER Breakfast ‘date’ with Trip today; Mum’s definitely coming although Bob hasn’t committed of course – so after a good catch-up with Lia about what’s happening in our respective worlds I head downstairs at around 9.00am, as we’re due at Trip’s at between 9.30-10.00am. I have a coffee & no one’s around, […]
Day #39 > TUESDAY 1st DECEMBER I greet Mum in the kitchen at 8.30am as we’re off today to escort & chauffeur Bob who’s finally having that scan on his spine. To see if he’s got one perhaps? Stoppit. We chitty-chat & she’s good, wondering how logistically we’re going to move forward so I reassure her that […]
Day #38 > MONDAY 30th NOVEMBER Mum greets me in the kitchen – sans collar natch – & she seems a little down, but we make a coffee together & she seems back to Mum by the time we walk Abel. We walk & talk, discussing Bob & Mum drops the big ‘I’ve had enough Tim, I […]
Day #37 > SUNDAY 29th NOVEMBER MUM COMES TO KL CHURCH! Whoop Whoop Hallelujah! Mum was up & ready early & we leave at 8.00am & chat non-stop for the 1.5 hour journey. Church was great & she embraced it, especially considering how different it is to Trinity. We chatted & prayed with others after the service & […]
Day #36 > SATURDAY 28th NOVEMBER Up around 9.00am & Mum doesn’t have her collar. Sigh. She has breakfast & I have coffee. She seems a little forgetful this morning, but comfortable in herself. I remind her of her collar – in earshot of Bob of course – & he replies immediately it’s by her sink in the […]
