Puny

Mom has been tired this week. She describes herself as feeling "puny". She has had some two-nap days. She says she gets up and does something, then sits in her chair "like Dad". I laughed and told her I didn't think she was "like Dad" just yet! But, she is tired enough that she does not want to go pick blueberries, and this is the end of the season.

Mom is focused now on getting the guest room cleared out. We have been piling heirlooms in the guest room as she sorts through things. I asked her yesterday, when she brought it up again, if she wants me to box and ship for her. She didn't bite on that idea, but maybe it will grow on her. She does want to see if Bill will visit and take some things.

Maybe this is just exhaustion after coming home from vacation followed quickly by houseguests. Mom is typically "up" for company and then has to recuperate afterwards. Or maybe it's the beginning of the downhill slide. There's just no way to call it.

  1. She really put out the energy when we were there. It was hard for her to nap long because she was so excited. I am not surprised that she was pretty tired this week. As you say, no telling what is going to happen next.
