I’m awake now! I came close to going back to bed this morning, but I preserved and went to aqua fitness. Boy was it a work out today! So I’m awake and refreshed now.
Mum was up again when I came home! That was a surprise. But she went back to bed now. I’m worried about her. She talks often now about not being here for Christmas. I think her younger brother being in the hospital and the death of the queen has really done a number on her outlook. I remember from a class in college that it’s common for old people to talk of death, but this is different than usual and she’s so tired. She does have a diagnosis of major depression, but they didn’t treat it. No talk therapy or meds. At 94 meds might be dangerous but surely they could do talk therapy?
