Chat with my mother today.
So where is your next trip?
To France
FRANCE??? (we have discussed this numerous times) What are you doing in France
I tell her.
How long will you be gone?
When do you leave?
and then in the very next breath she says "I may have asked you this before, but -- where is your next trip?
It is also sadly clear that she will never be able to go the hairdresser alone again. They have moved the place, which used to be right next to where my mother worked her puzzles, upstairs and it involves takin the elevator, knowing which direction to turn and then going down two different corridors. There is no way she can remember that, so I will have to take her to all of her hair appointments now. We made an appointment so she can look presentable when I take her to lunch with her old friends in Marin County and when we left the salon, she turned to me and said "If you were to leave me here right now, I wouldn't know how to find my apartment." She didn't realize she was on the second floor and when the elevator came, she started to push the button for the third floor.
