Carolina Mantis Egg Case

Hoo boy, hubby woke me up at 6:45 am. My mother was up and roaming. Guess this wasn’t my only day to sleep in after all. Hubby made her raisin bread toast and coffee, I cut up a nice bowl of cantaloupe for her. And so our day began, some great events (sitting on the front porch) and some not so great…. I almost sat on this egg case. It was attached to the cushion in my porch rocker. Blip done!! We had three loads of laundry to do. When I came out after filling the washer and dryer with loads two and three, Momma was folding the first load. Later, she put almost all of the puzzle boarder pieces together. The new meds to improve her alertness are working overtime. But the confusion is also heavy. She is adamant that she has to cook breakfast (3:30 pm) and keeps pulling stuff out of the refrigerator. Please give me guidance, Lord! Hubby took a bike ride and picked up the dog leash from Jamie’s that I need for one of my PT exercises. I did the others easily. My sister and BIL stopped by to swap cooler bags and bring Momma a few treats. Hubby picked up Wendy’s burgers for him and me. Momma asked for chicken so he got her strips and fries from Chick Fil A. I was just craving a burger and it was as good as it was bad for me. Sometimes you have to satisfy your needs, diet be darned. I have told hubby each day we have is as good as it is going to get and we must enjoy them. Dinner is cooked as is lunch for tomorrow. I made Momma chicken with rice soup and all of us chicken salad. Not much time on the recliner today. My physical therapist says I have to rest before my heel starts hurting really bad. This will help its healing. It was hard not to laugh at that idea. Wishing you some stress free time. Stay safe. Thanks for your visit.
