Day 6 of November

The cold snowy weather continues - for now.
Had an interesting conversation with my Mom yesterday. She was under the impression that I hadn't been in touch with her since Uncle Len's memorial the previous Tuesday. At first I started to argue with her that yes, I had been in touch 4 or 5 times since. Mom didn't think so - and then she remember that Sunday we talked as I was going to the Motown show. But that was the only time, she was sure. And then the light bulb when on - for me. She honestly doesn't remember. Why do I need to make her remember? Unless the conversation was filled with facts that she is looking for, the issue is not an issue. So she doesn't remember. I don't want to be the one to make her feel like she is getting old and her memory is gone. So note to self, I need to be more aware of these type of incidents to keep Mom at a healthy happy place in her life.

This Wednesday (hump day) gave me a bit of a challenge for getting anything done. I had great plans - but my eyes just wanted to veg. I did manage to get out and shovel the driveway and sidewalks before lunch time. But by the time I left to pick up Patrick for coaching, they were covered again. Project for thursday's lunch time.

Had a bit of shock tonight - bill has done many weird things in his time, but this one is at the top of the list. He asked me to come into his office to how me our list of assets and where everything is, how it works etc. At first this didn't seem out of the ordinary. Sometimes we do a 1/2 summary. But his next comment left me speechless. He said he would place the piece of paper on the corner of his desk. Again I was still baffled. Then comes the reason - seems Bill and a few other workers from the company are taking a flight up to Grande Prairie for the day. They are chartering a small plane from out of Springbank. One of the guys going has some concerns. These concerns raised concerns for bill. so the deal is, they drive to the Springbank airport tomorrow, and unless this fellow can qualify his concerns the flight is a go. Was it wrong for me to be furious. Then I realized this is bill and he doesn't want to leave anything to chance. My comment to him, was, if he didnt' come back, I was giving all his money away to charity. And I thought I was too organized.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
