A Day of Not Making Up Your Mind

Today started out as a normal Monday, can't get moving but the time is still moving, don't want to go to work but the other lady is not coming in. When I leave home it is very foggy and warm already. I am not one to love 80 degree weather, with lots of humidity. Things are going along pretty good until I get an e-mail from my sister. An opening for an apartment for my dad at a nearby nursing home. It is a nice size apartment and it is only one to two years old. They have a common area with tv, fireplace, kitchen and diningroom. They can go out of their apartments and visit with other folks there, watch the birds, read, or play board games. There are activities that they can get involved in, bus rides to places and so on. Talking with dad he felt that it was just to much for him and his dog would not be able to move with him. Terry and I was over to dad's yesterday and his dog just loves Terry and she likes me just fine. We told him that if anything were to happen to him that we would take her and she would be spoiled here just like she is spoiled with him and maybe even more. He would really miss her and not having her with him and I understand that. When mum was living he could not have a dog because it could have tripped her and she had already fallen and broke her hip. The three of us girls had made an appointment to look at the apartment and ask questions. We wanted him to go also but he was not going to go because he was not going to move but we could go and look at it. Well, if he had his mind made up not to move, just why would we all run to see something that he was not interested in. So, we canceled the appointment and headed home. Shortly after getting home, I get a call from dad wanting to know where Sis is because he has changed his mind and is thinking about moving. I'm thinking there is no way she has not contacted the people on the list and it is probably not there already. Dad thinks that it would take along time for someone to snatch it up but there is a long waiting list and it will not last long. Sis will contact the lady first thing in the morning and if it is not gone I will be leaving work to take him to look at it. Alls I can say is "if God wants Dad there, then it will still be waiting on him". Tomorrow will tell. One things is for sure, you can not have Dad make a fast decision, he has to have time to think about this.

One never knows what can take place in one days time.
