Thurs 20 Dec

I have to run a check for Courtesy Carriers over to PCH this morning so they will transport Grandma to Whispering Pines. I will meet her there to show her the new room and do the admission paperwork. I'll also hang out with her for awhile and have lunch there before returning to work. Grandma is settled in to the new place. I had lunch with her; food was okay if not exciting. They had beef tips with rice, sliced beets, and a slice of buttered cranberry bread for dessert. They gave Grandma a cookie and coffee when she arrived while I was completing the paperwork and she said it was very good. This afternoon they have a music group coming followed by the rosary in the chapel and then cookies and coffee so she should have a busy afternoon. When they went to put her coat on to leave the County Home, the gal looked in the pocket for her gloves and found an envelope Grandma had stashed there and forgotten about when she got cash from the bank in August. There was $169 in it. They kept it at the office at PCH so she wouldn't lose it en route, so I have to hike over this afternoon to pick it up for her. Wow, intense exhaustion set in this afternoon. Apparently I was more keyed up about Grandma's move than I realized and when it was done, I crashed. Could hardly stay awake at work this afternoon and took an hour nap after hot tubbing as soon as I got home. Will likely head up to read awhile and sleep early anyway.
