Is it already mid-June???

I don't remember what was going on the last time I updated. Mom is doing pretty much the same. It's weird how the days go - actually the moments. She can be completely content one moment and then a moment later she gets focused on something and man, is she ever on a mission then. There is no distracting her, no changing her mind, or even the subject. She packs up her room often. Its funny, sometimes she just packs up like half the room and other times, she packs the whole thing up. We met with her care team yesterday to go over her ISP. They went through her whole day with us - what that typically looks like - and all the details involved in taking care of her. We changed some things that they are doing - we'll try that and see how it works. We asked them if we could get her a cat and they said of course - they even think it will be a great idea since she is a nurturer. Sister got a cat yesterday and we are getting him checked out and all the necessary things done and then she will hopefully have him after this weekend.
We are also working on some legal issues that we feel is best to get taken care of now. I met with mom's financial advisor this week and just went over everything again, and made sure I was on the same page as him, and also to make sure that I was aware of where her monthly retirement income was coming in at and how all of that worked. I feel a lot better about all of that...
I'm nervous right now, selfishly, of course. My birthday is the day after tomorrow and its just going to be weird with her not being the same. She forgot my birthday last year - so I kind've had a taste of that - but I guess now its official that it will always be this way. Last year everything seemed like it was still possible of getting better - but now knowing that it probably won't - its a little different. Sometimes I think something is missing because she used to seem more excited about my birthday than I did. But I'm excited about it...I have plans on my actual birthday this year and I'm excited about Friday night. A lot of people are coming and everyone seems really excited about it - so I'm hoping for a really fun night with friends to celebrate another day.
