A nice walk = good appetite
Jun. 5th, 2022 08:52 pmWe had odd weather today: warm, yet mostly cloudy, and it made everyone tired and sleepy. Mum didn't even want to go for the planned walk, and she didn't want any dinner, saying that she wasn't hungry. In the end, we went out anyway, half an hour ago, when it was cooler and fairly nice, and when we got back, she decided that she did have an appetite, after all.
I was relieved; she really can't afford to get any thinner. She's skin and bones mostly, as it is. She does eat with relish as a rule, but she just can't gain her weight back. This is another family trait, I guess. The women on Grandma's side tend to be rather... voluminous up to the age of 70-75 - then they begin to grow thinner. So was it with Grandma and her older sister, with Aunt Clara, and so is it with Mum. Ah, well, perhaps in 10 years I'll start getting slim and beautiful, too, eh? *g*
In other news, I've finished the birthday cake page and even stitched it together with the front page (the one with the hot air balloon). Next up: the long and tedious seaming. *sigh* I didn't do much else today; felt tired and a bit dizzy at times. This sudden outbreak of summer has taken its toll on us - and I could never bear hot weather anyway.
And completely unrelated: why is it that I can connect to Gmail via my outdated Internet Explorer but not via Firefox? I hope it is just a temporary glitch, but it is annoying nonetheless.
