Mum Was Sleepy...

As I left her(I think they'd given her a sleeper)but earlier(though she did not eat as much as usual)she did eat one of those poached eggs and a lemon mousse and with the few drinks we did manage approx 500 calories.

To save time I went shopping at the supermarket on the way home, I haven't had a hot meal for ages but might try and do so, I know it will be an effort especially to do something like a Sunday lunch but perhaps I should. Then again, if I am at Mum's Nursing Home roughly 3pm-10pm doing that kind of meal outside of those hours I probably wouldn't feel like having it.

I found a few food items on offer(half price)chicken dippers, chicken burgers etc...fish fingers and some sliced meat. They'll keep me going and the potatoes were half price. I guess when money gets even tighter I will be depending and watching out for more of these bargains. But I am managing quite well on sandwiches and salads etc...

I did still manage to forget two items(but that's not bad)from memory and/or just wandering around the store. It was marmite and branston pickle. I'm just happy that I am still able to eat at present.

By the time I caught a taxi, shopped and put everything away remarkably three hours have passed but at least I don't have to do any shopping tomorrow. So I have no excuse if I am late seeing Mum.

And I think I have a few surprises from the shopping trip that Mum may like too.

If its still hot I have some tomato soup in a flask I can have, a packet of crisps and a flask of tea or coffee. And I'll dive under the blankets and get warm. And hopefully get some sleep.
