the_rckI stayed in bed this morning when Scott and Cordelia got up. I didn't manage more sleep, but my sinuses were hurting enough that I wasn't sure I trusted myself to get up.
I'm having problems today with dropping things and misjudging distances. I think it's the essential tremor acting up because I'm tired. I managed to splash coffee over a good portion of the bathroom even though my mug was only about a quarter full at the time. Right now, I feel like standing up would be unwise. I'm hoping that will pass soon because I would like to be able to do my usual Thursday chores.
I've washed two loads of laundry. One is currently in the dryer. The other will stay wet until someone else can go down to switch things over (probably the cleaning lady who comes at 2 p.m.). I think that laundry today was a mistake. I had fewer physical resources than I thought. The back breaking straw was my efforts to empty the dishwasher so that I could load it again before the cleaning lady comes.
I'm thinking about ordering delivery of some sort for lunch, but that seems like a lot of effort. Maybe a nap instead?
It looks like it's snowing outside, but it sounds like rain, so I suspect ice pellets rather than snowflakes. I'm not planning to go outside today, so I won't check my guess.
Scott's sister's in-laws have invited us and Scott's parents for Thanksgiving dinner. Scott's mother is scheduled for surgery the day before, so we knew Scott's parents weren't going to host. Scott's sister's kitchen is still not ready for serving a meal for a large number of guests, so she couldn't host. Our house is too small to accommodate everyone comfortably.
I had been assuming we'd stay home and have our own, small celebration. I liked that idea because it would give me more control over what was in the food and when we ate. It would also mean not having to deal with all of those people. I don't mind a gathering that large when they're people I have some commonalities with, but family is harder on that count.
Scott will be off work next week, Wednesday through Sunday. The Wednesday is entirely for his mother's surgery, so that he can be there. I will likely go with him. I need to talk to him and to Cordelia. I don't think she'll want to go, but she should have the option and the sense that this is a thing people do for each other. If she stays home, I may, too. It's not likely to be a long surgery, at least. The main worry/risk factor is Scott's mother's age.
