I am still in Daytona Beach. So far the trip is restful. I really have to get some work done in my remaining two weeks here.
SO far I have managed to do some shopping for my mother and do a few things around the house. I cooked some salmon for her which she loved. I still have to take her to two doctor appointments, the bank and a few other places. Plus I still have to get an elder attorney to the house to counsel her and my aunt on Medicaid. I think I will take my time. I was tired when I got down here. No need to rush.
Christmas dinner is being divided between my cousin and me. I have the ribs, the Cornish hen and the vegetables to cook. My cousin cooks the ox tails, macaroni and cheese, Spanish rice and cake. Now, I didn't want spare ribs on the menu. Mom is struggling with her cholesterol and I didn't need the extra temptation. I got voted down though. So my job now is to give my mother as little of this stuff as possible.
Yes, I seem like a Scrooge but she is not very mobile. She is not going to work off the Christmas fat so I have to be careful. I love coming down to help her out this time of the year but it does get frustrating.
