Update on Mom

Mom is doing great. I spoke with her tonight. She's finally adjusting to the 9 hour time difference. The first week she was only getting 1 hr. of sleep a night. Her body is finally starting to adjust and she's gotten at least 4 hrs each night. She says all is well. She usually goes in at 6 am and doesn't get off until about 10 pm. She's working a lot. They sent the right person though. If you have a job that needs to get done, Gail is the person to do it. I've always admired that about her.

She said that the living arrangements are not bad. She has her own space. She said that the food was not bad either. In fact, when I asked her what she had eaten, she told me that she had a turkey wrap from Cheddar's that they have on base. She's pretty safe too. All of the work that she is doing is on the army base where she's staying so she's pretty protected. I thank God for that.

Dad and Adrian are fairing okay, I guess. I have to check on them and make sure that they are eating, especially dad since he's diabetic. I try to cook for them at least once a week. You know how men are. They'll eat fast food everyday. Adrian's been on his own and is a pretty good cook but he's been so busy these days, he hasn't much time for cooking. Dad can eat cereal anytime so I have to make sure he's eating a well balanced diet. He calls me the "warden". I wear my badge with pride.

We're sending mom a package tomorrow so that she can have a few comforts from home for Christmas. I sure wish she could be here for Madison's 1st Christmas but duty calls. She should be back stateside on January 10th. Continue to keep her in your prayers. I'll give ypu more updates soon.
