I do have a blanket that I kept in my drawer at the old place. I should probably find it. I think I will need to go for a walk once an hour to keep the feet from freezing.
It’s supposed to get up to 11 tomorrow. But, I have very little faith in the weather folks. The forecast changes several times a day, but I do like the prediction of above zero. I don’t like this really cold weather, especially with my Mom at home alone. When I’m home, I can use space heaters here and there, but I can’t really explain to her anymore, nor would she remember, how to turn it on where needed. And then remember to turn it off. I don’t want it running all day.
Yes, I’d say looking for that blanket tonight should be at the top of the priority list. As cold as it is at the office, you’ll need it. And that walk once an hour will probably be needed too.
The shape your mom’s in these days, space heaters sure could be dangerous. Is there an electric blanket you can use to help keep her warm while you’re at work? Or will you just put extra blankets on the bed?
I need to dig around in Aunt Clara’s side of the house to find a good, warm blanket and take it to the nursing home tomorrow or Tuesday. The thermostat in her room was out again today, as it was last Sunday when I visited her. Her room is next to the door and it gets cold with people going in and out. I told the care giver today that the thermostat should be replaced since the current one has gone out twice in a week but I doubt they’ll do it.
The blankets Clara has now are fine when the heat works, and are ok for now, but it’ll be colder next weekend.
