Knee Problems Again
I think I tweaked my knee in my sleep. Geo didn't want me going for my walk after he saw how I was walking around the house. He said I could blow my knee out walking like that. I just hope that tomorrow it's feeling better- I have to walk to the clinic to see my therapist. I have to be up a bit early... last night I slept for 13 hours. I was just so tired. I hope I'm not getting sick.
I called my mom today and she started crying... I felt so bad. My brother said he was going to send her some of her favorite chili beans that she can't buy here. That was weeks ago and he doesn't know if the package was sent. I know one time I sent Geo banana bread in the mail via my brother and it sat around so long it was moldy by the time it got to him. I'm going to get my friend Carol to send some to my mom (and I will pay for it). I'm not going to say a thing to her.... just let her find it on her door. I also want to surprised her for her birthday and go visit her. I just have to work out the logistics. I figure I can save some of my birthday money to that fund. She was sad yesterday, too, over money. I'm the poorest of her kids, but I always find a way to lend her some money until payday so she doesn't have to get a payday loan. My brother just refuses to send her money.. I can understand. He's been burned in the past. I don't know what my sister's excuse is. I just know she doesn't lend her money as well. I'm the only one who trusts her. I just hope she can get into a better financial situation.

How is your knee doing? Was the walk to the therapist hard for you to do?
You are a good daughter. You and your mom seem to have a very close relationship. I\'m glad for both of you. I hope you are able to get to visit during her birthday.
I feel so bad for your mom and you are so sweet and generous to her, that is what family is about. did your sister and mom have a bad relationship? I wonder, other then being burned, why your brother wont help with money, maybe your mom simply cant pay it back. maybe a family discussion would help all this. money is so hard, it is surely a depressant, we have to have enough to live and pay basic bills. I am very lucky to have such a caring family, I don\'t know where I would be without them. hugs to you and a hug for your mom.
nice of you to lend her money and surprise visit her. cool that you can walk to most things from where you live. i love areas like that. its rare though. sometimes its like that if you live right on the ocean, or they will have a trolley up and down the road of the ocean (they have to if its a touristy area).
The weather here is almost always nice. I like walking, but between my migraine and my knees I\'ve been stuck at home all day.
