The temps in Florida went down to the 30's last night and have been for the last few; the house was 48 degrees inside when I got here. I think it would have been great if someone had thought to turn the heater on before I got here...but that's just me. So wish me luck...by the way I have my medication just in case the eczema comes back, and of course...HAPPY NEW YEAR.
For about 4 months each year I take care of my 94 year old Mom, the rest of the time you can find me on our boat Sailfisher. My sister and brother and their families live near her and care for her the rest of the year. I've decided to write some of it down.

Vacation's Over
I just got back last night, so now it's Mom duty for the next 2 months. I had a great month off, I think I only cooked twice all month. Made like a tourist in LA, did a road trip to Northern CA to see friends, did my annual Xmas cookie bake d
ay and spent the holidays with my family...it was wonderful. I don't have any resolutions while I'm here because I really don't think I can keep them. I'll continue with my kickboxing routine and get caught up on my travel blog. I do hope to make some progress in making plans for Mom's future care and comfort. I also plan to get more time off, on a more regular basis, than last time...so we'll see. I had a talk with Mom this morning saying that I don't want to be cooking dinner for 6 or 7 people every night, I told her "I'm here to care for you and everyone else has to take care of themselves". She agreed but you know I'm in LaLa land if I believe that.
