Journal Entry 10...Desperate crimes

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.
