Day #08 > SATURDAY 31st OCTOBER Halloweeen. Ooooh. Mum & I walked Abel around 9.30am – after the usual Hunt the Collar game; it was cold & Mum thought there were many Bobs & Tims again. BUT BUT BUT she said she felt good & fit & had slept very well – so first day without alcohol […]
Day #07 > FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER Mum thought a number of Tims & Bobs were here this morning. Suffering the after-effects of the night before & said she had a slight headache over her left eye & was imagining other people in the house. Oh my. Our daily search for her collar ensued – as […]
Day #06 > THURSDAY 29th OCTOBER Mum very confused this morning but we had a good chat whilst walking the dog & as she seemed to return to reality I asked her what happened last night. She said she was frustrated with Bob but couldn’t remember exactly so I told her everything exactly as it happened from my […]
Day #05 > WEDNESDAY 28th OCTOBER Breakfast as normal – coffee & granola – Mum greeted me warmly & we walked Abel. She apologised for ‘raising my voice’ yesterday & said Bob was cold. She claimed to remember her outburst & we both agreed it was better to get it all out rather than let it fester. Mum felt […]
Day #04 > TUESDAY 27th OCTOBER The day starts well, & Mum has granola for breakfast whilst I hoovered & gave Abel a going over. Again. We went for walk, Mum wobbly on way back so we took it easy. She ate about 15 minutes before walk, so I was surprised. She stops for 10 seconds […]
DAY #03 > MONDAY 26th OCTOBER I spend the day simply observing & trying to be of some use along with simply catching up & chitty-chatting with Mum. Gave Abel another Frontline dosing along with the carpets, as the previous treatment didn’t appear to make too much difference as he & the carpet are still crawling […]
DAY #02 > SUNDAY 25th OCTOBER Too much typing here, so I’ll cut down & just note what I see, but the day starts off great as I go to church! Hoorah! Den ‘n’ Jen at Kingdom Life Church up in Fort Mill nearly two hours away – but SO worth it. Great to see them […]
Day #01 > SATURDAY 24th OCTOBER I’m simply expecting to observe for my first week, to get a full & accurate picture of what life is like for both Mum and Bob at Deweyland, as I strongly feel that if I start ‘throwing my weight’ around or suggesting this & that to ‘make life easier’ I’ll […]
REUNION > FRIDAY 23rd OCTOBER Landed at just after 5.00pm & out very quickly as no checked-in baggage – nice – & Mum greeted me warmly. How long have I waited for this! We hugged, smiled – with & without masks! – & made our way to greet Bob who was with the car outside. We […]
FLIGHTS 4, 5 & 6 > THURSDAY-FRIDAY 22nd-23rd OCTOBER 22nd: Barbados > Miami FL 23rd: Miami FL > Charlotte SC 23rd: Charlotte SC > Columbia SC Onwards! A couple of days of travelling – I did fancy a road trip from Miami up to SC, but alas the car hire cost was extortionate due to a different […]
