the chaos that is my home is going to start getting put in order. i’m tired of it and its driving me to the brink of insanity. i’m going to start doing my best to get things in order here. mom keeps losing things, and forgetting stuff and its fine because i know her memory is not good anymore, the stroke has really messed her up. but its time for the chaos to end.

i have started working on some solutions to problems we are having and hopefully she will be keen to assist me with things instead of just saying no (like she does now…). i’ve started us both on a website that allows us to share a calendar and shopping list, and todo list stuff. the next phase will be trying to talk her into staying awake during the day though i’m not sure if that is possible since her medication seems to knock her down a lot.

she needs exercise and so do i so i am going to propose walking in an indoor area like walmart or the small mall we have here. since its enclosed she can’t say no because of rain or heat. there will be air conditioning and seating and no excuses.

i’m also going to start a purge of the massive amounts of clutter in this house. i know some of it is mine but even when i’ve said “you can throw this away” she for some reason leaves it… and never throws it out.

hopefully this will ease both of our lives, but on the bad side it might make me go more crazy… we’ll see i guess.
