Good morning, O-zies!!!
I am back in reality. Boo!
What a nice time we had. The place we stayed in was beautiful, the weather (for October) was wonderful. Food- awesome, service- same.
We got down around 11.30, checked in but had to wait for the room to be ready (check-in isn't officially until 3 pm) so we grabbed sandwiches at the fab deli and ate them on the boardwalk. After we got into the room, we changed into "beach clothes" then sat on the beach for a couple of hours. We collected some shells. I found some really smooth broken pieces that I am wondering if I could make into a necklace or keychain for my mom for Christmas. Dinner was delicious and thankfully, the staff was super accommodating with her diet requests. Then we were in bed at 8.30. Wild and crazy, huh?
I woke up at 6.30 and threw on a sweatshirt, brushed my teeth and went to get coffee- one floor down. So convenient. The best part, I was able to take my coffee onto their porch that overlooks the ocean and I watched the sunrise. Heaven!!!! While my mom was getting ready, I took my DSLR onto the beach to get some pics. We had b-fast right there, went back upstairs to finish packing. After we checked out we went back to sit on the beach before we drove home in the afternoon. It was a really good decision to stay there. Perfect to stay at one place and to be right there on the ocean. My mom wants to go back in the spring so my fingers are crossed that we can pull it off. I told her that she better stay healthy b/c who else could I drag down with me?
I feel really bad, I was kind of hard on her. I get so frustrated sometimes when she does the same s*** over and over, letting stupid things from years ago make her bitter or having things scattered all over that makes it hard to be organized. For ex. she forgot to pack a few shirts because she has some things in one room, other things in a second room and some things on the sofa. Then she berates herself for being "stupid." But if I suggest that she try the meditation app to help retrain her brain, give her ideas on how to let the little things or things she has no control over go, she says I am right but then ignores me. :frusty:
I apologized a bunch of times and she admits that she knows that I am trying to help but then she says she is too old to change.
I don't want to see her be bitter and anxious for the rest of her life. And I guess that is on me, my issue. So I am going to try and bite my tongue. For a while at least heh.
Today, I am off to clean, then I have laundry and unpacking to do. It is going to be very rainy so if I have time, I am going to download my photos- scrap maybe???
I am running very late so if I can't catch up on personals, I am sorry!
Missed you all! xoxo
